-
[1] involves deploying both the control plane and the data plane of AutoMQ Cloud within a dedicated VPC under AutoMQ company's primary account and connecting to the customer's VPC through VPC PrivateLink or VPC Peering.
-
[2] involves deploying both the control plane and the data plane of AutoMQ Cloud under the customer's primary account VPC.
-
[3] During the operation of the AutoMQ Server, all generated logs, metrics, and diagnostic data will be stored in a separate object storage bucket. Customers need to grant cross-account permissions for this bucket to the AutoMQ team's main account. The AutoMQ operations platform will analyze the logs and metrics of customer clusters in real-time to ensure stable cluster operation, supported by AutoMQ's professional R&D team.
-
[4] AutoMQ Server is outfitted with automatic fault recovery capabilities, offering real-time monitoring of various cluster performance metrics and automatically isolating any nodes that show anomalies. This ensures fault recovery occurs before any failure impacts the application, usually completing this process within minutes. Following this, engineers from the AutoMQ team carry out a backend analysis to determine the fault's causes.
