💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

BYOC lets you run Redpanda inside your own cloud accounts, while the control plane manages lifecycle, networks, and agent provisioning, so you don't have to manually wire infrastructure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Provision BYOC Redpanda clusters via the Control Plane API (TYPE_BYOC) and manage the lifecycle from creation to teardown.
  • Create Networks, register VPCs/ VNets, install the agent with Terraform, and apply Terraform in your cloud via rpk cloud byoc.
  • Use enterprise features by configuring cluster properties (e.g., iceberg, audit, cloud topics) to tailor Redpanda Enterprise capabilities in BYOC clusters.
  • Use cases include setting up BYOC clusters in AWS/GCP/Azure, managing network resources, and operating through the control plane with OAuth2 authentication.

Quick Start

Install the BYOC workflow plugin and start the end-to-end provisioning of a BYOC cluster.
