Use tiered storage for AWS BYOC services Limited availability

AWS BYOC environments use the tiered storage capability for data allocation. Cold data in your AWS custom cloud is stored in your AWS cloud account.

note

This is a limited availability feature.

AWS BYOC environments allow using tiered storage to store data. The tiered storage is a data allocation mechanism for improved efficiency and cost optimization of data management. When enabled, tiered storage allows moving data automatically between hot storage (for frequently accessed, critical, and often updated data) and cold storage (for rarely accessed, static, or archived data).

Cold data of AWS BYOC-hosted services is stored in object storage in your AWS cloud account. One bucket is created per custom cloud.

important
  • AWS BYOC tiered storage is only supported for Aiven for Apache Kafka and Aiven for ClickHouse.
  • Tiered storage enabled on non-BYOC services is owned by Aiven and as such doesn't allow to store cold data in your own cloud account.
  • Non-BYOC services with Aiven-owned tiered storage cannot be migrated to BYOC.

To use tiered storage in an AWS BYOC-hosted service, tiered storage needs to be enabled both in your custom cloud and in the BYOC-hosted service.
