Zilliz Cloud BYOC Now Available on GCP

Zilliz, the innovator behind the open-source vector database Milvus, has officially launched the Zilliz Cloud Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) service on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This new offering, announced on June 24, 2025, provides businesses with enhanced capabilities for managing vector searches, along with improved security, compliance, and automation features tailored to enterprise needs.

Meeting Demand with Improved Capabilities

In response to requests from clients across various industries, Zilliz has rolled out comprehensive BYOC support for GCP, complementing existing offerings on AWS. Charles Xie, the founder and CEO of Zilliz, emphasized the importance of security and control in cloud operations, stating, "Customers in various sectors asked for BYOC support on GCP, and we have delivered. At the same time, we've raised the bar for enterprise-level control and security across all supported clouds."

This launch marks a significant milestone for Zilliz as it becomes the only vector database provider to offer full BYOC support on both AWS and GCP, enabling users to enjoy a consistent, seamless experience regardless of their cloud provider.

Key Features of Zilliz Cloud BYOC

1. Granular Permissions Control

The BYOC service introduces an IAM-based framework that allows businesses to exercise complete control over their storage, computing, and networking layers. This feature includes detailed permissions and account-wide role management, ensuring that companies can tailor access according to their specific needs and security protocols.

2. Enhanced Network Security

Zilliz takes network security to the next level with full network isolation via AWS PrivateLink, ensuring that only encrypted communications over TLS 1.2+ are allowed. Clients can also take advantage of optional integration with Web Application Firewalls (WAF) and a hardened architecture ensuring that data never leaves their Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).

3. Infrastructure Automation

Utilizing new CloudFormation templates and Terraform modules, Zilliz enables a secure BYOC implementation aligned with industry best practices for security. This allows businesses to automate their infrastructure management while focusing on their core operations.

Benefits of Using Zilliz Cloud on GCP

• - Data Residency and Sovereignty: All data remains within the client’s GCP project and VPC, providing peace of mind regarding data sovereignty.
• - Inherent Integration: Zilliz Cloud offers co-location with powerful tools like BigQuery, Vertex AI, and Google Cloud Storage, creating a highly efficient ecosystem for AI workloads.
• - No Infrastructure Overhead: Zilliz manages the control layer while clients maintain full ownership of their data and environment, thus reducing the complexity associated with infrastructure management.
