BYOC Tiers and Regions

BYOC usage tiers

When you create a BYOC cluster, you select your usage tier. Each tier provides tested workload configurations for maximum throughput, partitions, and connections.

  • Partition counts are based on clusters running Redpanda version 25.1 or higher and on the assumption that the replication factor is 3 (default). If you set a higher replication factor, the maximum value for partitions will be lower.

  • On Azure, tiers 1-5 are supported.

  • Redpanda supports compute-optimized tiers with AWS Graviton3 processors.

  • Depending on the workload, it may not be possible to achieve all maximum values. For example, a high number of partitions may make it more difficult to reach the maximum value in throughput.

  • Connections are regulated per broker for best performance. For example, in a tier 1 cluster with 3 brokers, there could be up to 3,000 connections per broker.

BYOC supported regions

Each region lists its availability zones. AWS zones are shown as zone IDs (for example, use1-az1), the identifier the AWS API expects; GCP and Azure zones are shown as zone names (for example, europe-west1-b), matching what each provider’s console displays.

  • Amazon Web Services (AWS)
