This guide provides the workflow for using AutoMQ Cloud to install an AutoMQ BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) environment and create an Apache Kafka-compatible instance in your cloud account.
Throughout this document, “AutoMQ” refers to AutoMQ HK Limited and its affiliates.

​
Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure your cloud environment meets the following requirements:
  • Cloud Infrastructure: Prepare the provider-specific cloud network used by your applications, such as an AWS VPC, a Google Cloud VPC network, or an Azure VNet. The installation also requires access to the object storage and compute services specified by the cloud provider guide.
  • Cloud Account: Use an active public cloud account whose identity has the permissions required to create and manage the documented network, storage, compute, and identity resources.

​
Getting Started Workflow

The process of getting started with AutoMQ Cloud involves three steps:
  1. Register an AutoMQ Cloud account: Go to the AutoMQ Cloud sign-up page and create an account.
  2. Create and install an Environment: Create the logical management boundary for your cloud infrastructure, network, and AutoMQ resources, and then install the AutoMQ Console in your cloud account. For more information, see Environments overview.
  3. Create an Instance: After the Environment is installed and authorized, create an AutoMQ Instance. An Instance corresponds to an Apache Kafka® cluster. After the Instance is running, use its bootstrap server endpoint to connect Kafka clients and produce and consume messages.
