Like our Business and Enterprise plans that run on Bonsai-managed infrastructure, Bonsai clusters deployed in the BYOC in AWS configuration receive the same coordinated version upgrades, long-term version support, and are fully managed by our staff of Elasticsearch and OpenSearch experts over a secure VPC peering connection.

How does Bonsai BYOC work?

Bonsai BYOC on AWS works by deploying infrastructure into a Child Account within your AWS Organization, isolated from your other Organization Accounts and applications. A cross-account policy associated with the isolated Child Account enables us to securely manage your search infrastructure, with minimal access.

Communication between Bonsai’s secure Cloud VPC and your isolated Child Account’s VPC requires a secure VPC Network Peering connection between the two. This secure network connection allows us to manage, monitor, and optimize the Elasticsearch and OpenSearch clusters deployed in your AWS account without sending data over the internet.
