Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) is an innovative model offered by Redpanda Cloud that allows organizations to host fully managed Redpanda clusters within their own cloud accounts, providing a privacy-first approach that ensures sensitive data remains within the customer's environment. This offering addresses the growing need for data sovereignty and privacy in the cloud-only era, while minimizing the total cost of ownership by combining the benefits of SaaS with Redpanda's security, reliability, and performance. BYOC integrates seamlessly with cloud governance frameworks, such as hub-and-spoke architectures and multi-account structures, which are recommended by major cloud providers like AWS, GCP, and Azure to enhance security and autonomy. While Redpanda engineers manage the provisioning and monitoring of the clusters, customers maintain control over their data, allowing them to audit actions, implement IAM guardrails, and conduct compliance checks. The shared responsibility model ensures a clear delineation of duties between Redpanda and its customers, with Redpanda handling the operational trust boundary and customers focusing on their cloud governance strategies to maintain compliance and security.
