Supports BYOC, with Resources Deployed in the User's VPC, Eliminating the Need for Cross-network Data Transfers
In addition to the traditional SaaS model, AutoMQ Cloud also offers a BYOC option, deploying cloud resources directly within the user's VPC. This configuration enables seamless access to AutoMQ without requiring cross-network connections, and allows users to benefit from existing discounts on cloud account resources.
Enterprise Capabilities Ready Out-of-the-box
Built on the Community Edition, AutoMQ Cloud incorporates several enterprise-grade features such as automatic scaling, instant partition reassignment, and comprehensive system observability. These services are available immediately upon activation, with no additional development required.
Natively Supports Multi-cloud
AutoMQ's cloud-native architecture, based entirely on public cloud components like object storage and virtual machines, facilitates multi-cloud deployments. Enterprises can effortlessly activate and utilize AutoMQ Cloud across various major cloud platforms.
Selecting Service Versions
AutoMQ provides two tailored service options for enterprise customers: AutoMQ Cloud and AutoMQ Enterprise. AutoMQ Cloud is a fully managed cloud service, offered in both SaaS and BYOC models by the AutoMQ team; AutoMQ Enterprise, on the other hand, is aimed at IDC private deployments and available as Enterprise Edition software.

Annotations:
[1] Indicates that both the control plane and data plane of AutoMQ Cloud are deployed under the customer's cloud account VPC, providing fully managed services.
[2] Indicates that both the control plane and data plane of AutoMQ Cloud are deployed under the AutoMQ company's cloud account VPC, connecting with the customer's VPC through VPC PrivateLink or VPC Peering.
[3] refers to deploying both the control plane and data stands of AutoMQ Enterprise entirely within a customer's private data center, where the customer is responsible for maintenance and operations, while AutoMQ CO. provides ongoing technical support and updates.
[4] In the BYOC model, during the operation of AutoMQ Server, the generated logs, metrics, and diagnostic data are stored in a separate Object storage Bucket. The customer needs to grant cross-account access to this Bucket to the AutoMQ team's main account. AutoMQ's operations platform continuously analyzes the customer's cluster logs and metrics, with AutoMQ's dedicated R&D team ensuring the stable operation of the customer's cluster from behind the scenes.
[5] AutoMQ Cloud features automatic failure recovery, constantly monitoring cluster performance metrics and automatically isolating any nodes that exhibit abnormalities. This allows for fault recovery before the issues affect the application, typically completed within minutes. Following this, AutoMQ's engineering team will conduct a backend analysis of the fault cause.
