Like our Business and Enterprise plans that run on Bonsai-managed infrastructure, Bonsai clusters deployed in the BYOC in GCP 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 GCP works by deploying infrastructure into a Cloud Project in your GCP account, isolated from your other Cloud Projects and applications. A service account associated with the isolated Project enables us to securely manage your search infrastructure, with minimal API access.

While not required, we strongly recommend establishing a secure VPC Network Peering connection between Bonsai’s secure Cloud and your isolated GCP Project infrastructure. This secure network connection allows us to manage, monitor, and optimize the Elasticsearch and OpenSearch clusters deployed in your GCP account without sending data over the internet.
