Integration Expands Deployment Options and
Enhances Security for Redpanda Cloud Users
Redpanda, the unified streaming data platform, today announced
the integration of its Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) service with
Microsoft Azure, expanding its multi-cloud offerings for delivering
mission-critical data. This limited availability release responds
to growing user demand for flexible data infrastructure options.
Azure support is initially available in six key regions: centralus
(Iowa), eastus (Virginia), eastus2 (Virginia), norwayeast (Oslo),
uksouth (London), and ukwest (Cardiff), with future expansion
planned for additional regions.
Today’s announcement enables Redpanda BYOC users to combine
simplicity and data sovereignty for their streaming data workloads,
with fully managed cluster scalability and support directly within
Azure. By combining Redpanda's high-performance streaming platform
with Azure's cloud environment, customers can more easily create
real-time applications across various regions and availability
zones.
"We're continually working to meet our customers where they
are," said Alex Gallego, founder and CEO of Redpanda. "By bringing
Redpanda Cloud to Azure, we're providing our users with more
flexibility and choice in how they connect and stream their
mission-critical data to power innovative real-time and AI
applications. The new integration expands our cloud footprint
across AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and now Azure's advanced
services."
The expansion supports Azure Private Link, enabling extra
security for Redpanda Cloud users who need to ensure that traffic
remains on Microsoft's private network. Clusters are also SOC 2
Type 2 certified, and receive 24/7 support from Redpanda. Users
also inherit existing Redpanda Enterprise support for Tiered
Storage using both Azure Blob Storage (ABS) and Azure Data Lake
Storage (ADLS).
As part of this integration, Redpanda also provides open-source
connectors to Azure services through Redpanda Connect, which was
introduced in May of this year. Customers can access the connectors
for free and host them alongside their Redpanda BYOC deployment in
Azure. The available connectors include:
- azure_blob_storage: Downloads objects within an Azure
Blob Storage container, optionally filtered by a prefix.
- azure_queue_storage: Executes a SQL query against Azure
CosmosDB and creates a batch of messages from each page of
items.
- azure_table_storage: Queries an Azure Storage Account
Table, optionally with multiple filters.
- sql_insert (Azure Cosmos DB driver): Inserts a row into
an SQL database for each message.
- sql_raw (Azure Cosmos DB driver): Executes a select
query and creates a message for each row received.
- sql_select (Azure Cosmos DB driver): Executes a select
query and creates a message for each row received.
These connectors enable seamless data flow between Redpanda and
native Azure services, enhancing the platform's utility for Azure
users.
