Securely connect to Timescale Cloud using AWS Transit Gateway

AWS Transit Gateway enables you to securely connect to your Timescale Cloud from AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, or any other cloud or on-premise environment.

You use AWS Transit Gateway as a traffic controller for your network. Instead of setting up multiple direct connections to different clouds, on-premise data centers, and other AWS services, you connect everything to AWS Transit Gateway. This simplifies your network and makes it easier to manage and scale.

You can then create a peering connection between your Timescale Cloud services and AWS Transit Gateway in Timescale Cloud. This means that, no matter how big or complex your infrastructure is, you can connect securely to your Timescale Cloud services.

To configure this secure connection, you:

  1. Connect your infrastructure to AWS Transit Gateway.
  2. Create a Timescale Cloud Peering VPC with a peering connection to AWS Transit Gateway.
  3. Accept and configure the peering connection on your side.
  4. Attach individual services to the Peering VPC.

The AWS Transit Gateway feature is available for Scale and Enterprise pricing plans.

AWS Transit Gateway enable you to connect from almost any environment, this page provides examples for the most common use cases.

You can now securely access your services in Timescale Cloud.
