Integrate Amazon Web Services with Timescale Cloud

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a comprehensive cloud computing platform that provides on-demand infrastructure, storage, databases, AI, analytics, and security services to help businesses build, deploy, and scale applications in the cloud.

This page explains how to integrate your AWS infrastructure with Timescale Cloud using AWS Transit Gateway.

To follow the procedure on this page, you need to:

• Create a target Timescale Cloud service.

• Set up AWS Transit Gateway.

To connect to Timescale Cloud:

1. Create a Peering VPC in Timescale Console

   1. In Security > VPC, click Create a VPC:

      

      Expand image

   2. Choose your region and IP range, name your VPC, then click Create VPC:

      

      Expand image

      Your service and Peering VPC must be in the same AWS region. The number of Peering VPCs you can create in your project depends on your price tier. If you need another Peering VPC, either contact support@timescale.com or change your tier in Timescale Console.

   3. Add a peering connection:

      1. In the VPC Peering column, click Add.
      2. Provide your AWS account ID, Transit Gateway ID, CIDR ranges, and AWS region.
      3. Click Add connection.

2. Accept and configure peering connection in your AWS account

   Once your peering connection appears as Processing, you can accept and configure it in AWS:

   1. Accept the peering request coming from Timescale Cloud. The request can take up to 5 min to arrive. Within 5 more minutes after accepting, the peering should appear as Connected in Timescale Console.

   2. Configure at least the following in yur AWS account networking:

      • Your subnet route table to route traffic to your Transit Gateway for the Peering VPC CIDRs.
      • Your Transit Gateway route table to route traffic to the newly created Transit Gateway peering attachment for the Peering VPC CIDRs.
      • Security groups to allow outbound TCP 5432.

3. Attach a Timescale Cloud service to the Peering VPC In Timescale Console

   1. Select the service you want to connect to the Peering VPC.
   2. Click Operations > Security > VPC.
   3. Select the VPC, then click Attach VPC.

   You cannot attach a Timescale Cloud service to multiple Timescale Cloud VPCs at the same time.

You have successfully integrated your AWS infrastructure with Timescale Cloud.
