Enable your AWS custom cloud in Aiven organizations, units, or projects

Configure the availability of your custom cloud to access it in all the projects, selected organizational units, or specific projects only.

About making custom clouds available from your projects​

With the BYOC feature enabled, you can create custom clouds in your Aiven organization. As a part of the initial custom cloud's setup in the Aiven Console, you select in what projects you'll be able to use your new custom cloud to host Aiven services. Later, you can come back to the Available projects tab in your cloud's page in Aiven Console and update the settings you configured during the initial custom cloud's setup.

  1. In the Custom cloud's availability in your organization section, select either:
    • By default for all projects to make your custom cloud available in all existing and future projects in the organization, or;
    • By selection to pick specific projects or organizational units where you want your custom cloud to be available.
  2. If you go for the By selection option, the Assign organizational units field and the Assign projects field show up. Enter the names of organizational units and/ or projects in which you want to be able to use your custom cloud.

Prerequisites​

Enable projects to use your custom cloud​

  1. Log in to Aiven Console as an administrator.

  2. Select the organization you want to use from the dropdown menu in the top right corner.

  3. From the top navigation bar, select Admin.

  4. From the left sidebar, select Bring your own cloud.

  5. In the Bring your own cloud view, select one of the clouds available on the list.

  6. In the selected cloud's page, navigate to the Available projects tab and modify the settings provided as needed:

    • Select Set availability to decide if your custom cloud is available in all the projects in your organization or in selected projects only. In the Custom cloud's availability in your organization window, select either By default for all projects or By selection. If you go for the By selection option, dropdown menus Assign organizational units and Assign projects show up. Use them to select desired organizational units and/ or projects and confirm your choice by selecting Save.
    note

    By selecting an organizational unit, you make your custom cloud available from all the projects in this unit.

    • Select Assign projects to enable your custom cloud in specific organizational units and/ or projects. In the Assign projects window, use the available dropdown menus to select desired units and/ or projects as needed. Confirm your choice by selecting Assign projects.

As a result, in the projects and/or organizational units for which you enable your custom cloud, you can:

  • Create new services in the custom cloud
  • Migrate existing services to your custom cloud if your service and networking configuration allows it. For more information, contact the sales team.
