Summary

Timescale Cloud now allows users to enable Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) peering in three major AWS regions, providing secure access to data stored in Timescale Cloud without exposing services to the public internet. This feature enables the creation of private networks between Amazon VPCs and Timescale Cloud VPCs, allowing machines in separate VPCs to communicate directly without going through the public Internet. VPC peering is easy to set up but also supports more complex deployments, such as multiple Virtual Private Clouds per service. It adds an important layer of security to Timescale Cloud, providing features like high availability, point-in-time recovery, and flexible role-based access controls. Users can create new VPCs, configure peering connections, and migrate services between public and private networks with ease, ensuring maximum safety and privacy for their data.
