CockroachDB BYOC Public Preview | Managed in Your Cloud

CockroachDB's Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) is a deployment model designed for organizations that require a managed database service within their own cloud environment, addressing the needs of those who cannot migrate data to a vendor's cloud account due to compliance or internal policies. BYOC allows users to run CockroachDB clusters in their own AWS, GCP, or Azure accounts while Cockroach Labs handles the operations like provisioning, patching, upgrades, and backups, ensuring the database remains within the enterprise's governance and control. This model offers the advantage of maintaining cloud spend control and infrastructure management, aligning with existing cloud agreements and discount structures, which is particularly beneficial for regulated industries with strict compliance requirements. The BYOC model enhances operational efficiency by reducing the burden on internal teams without requiring them to manage the database infrastructure themselves. The public preview is available for AWS, Azure, and GCP, with further enhancements planned before the general availability in 2026, including UI-based cluster creation and support for multiple clusters per cloud account.
