QUESTION

What's your take on vendors claiming to offer BYOC?

ANSWER

BYOC is a relatively new deployment option, so there are varying styles and approaches to vendor's offering BYOC.

If there isn't documentation on the vendor website, contact their sales team to learn more.

Questions you should ask include:

• Which clouds they can deploy into?

• Is there a multi-year commitment?

• How automated is their BYOC approach or is it heavily services-based?

• Do they require cross-account access or do they have an agent approach like Nuon?

• Are the control and data planes in the customer's cloud?

You are welcome to recommend the software vendor contact Nuon to learn about using our platform for their BYOC offering.

Alternatively, consider investigating Nuon for use inside your enterprise to more easily and securely install and manage your vendor and in-house developed apps — across multiple cloud providers in your private VPCs.
