Running Altinity.Cloud in Your Cloud (BYOC)

Using your cloud account

Running Altinity.Cloud in your cloud account (also known as Bring Your Own Cloud or BYOC) provides the convenient cloud management of Altinity.Cloud but lets you keep data within your own cloud VPCs and private data centers, all while running managed ClickHouse® in your own Kubernetes clusters. We sometimes call this Open Cloud for ClickHouse.

Benefits of Bring Your Own Cloud

At a high level, running Altinity.Cloud in your cloud involves giving Altinity very specific permissions for your cloud account. With those defined, Altinity.Cloud can create the resources it needs to create and manage ClickHouse clusters.

This approach has several important benefits:

  • Compliance - Retain full control of data (including backups) as well as the operating environment and impose your policies for security, privacy, and data sovereignty.
  • Cost - Optimize infrastructure costs by running in your accounts.
  • Location - Place ClickHouse clusters close to data sources and applications.
  • No vendor lock-in - Disconnect the control plane at any time and continue operating ClickHouse using open-source components.

When you’re running Altinity.Cloud in your cloud, you’re using the open-source analytic stack and service architecture discussed on the Altinity.Cloud 101 page.
