Cloud Interconnect overview

Cloud Interconnect is designed to set up IP network connectivity between customer on-premise infrastructure resources and Yandex Cloud resources.

Example of setting up IP network connectivity as part of Cloud Interconnect:

In this example, the customer has the following resources:

• On-prem infrastructure with deployed customer resources, such as dedicated servers.
• Cloud infrastructure in Yandex Cloud with deployed cloud resources, such as VMs.

The task is to ensure the IP network connectivity between the customer on-premise infrastructure resources and Yandex Cloud resources.

Such a task will require:

• Creating a Routing Instance in the cloud folder.
• Adding a private connection to Routing Instance.
• On the Yandex Cloud virtual network side, adding a set of subnet IP prefixes from a specific virtual network in Routing Instance, which will be announced towards the client equipment via BGP.
• On the client infrastructure side, via BGP, a set of IP prefixes of subnets with client resources must be announced through the client side of the private connection.

Once these steps are complete, IP connectivity should be established between the client's infrastructure resources and cloud resources in Yandex Cloud, thus enabling IP traffic exchange between them.

Scopes of responsibilityScopes of responsibility

Yandex Cloud provides the Cloud Interconnect service in cooperation with other parties, each with its own area of responsibility:

• Points of presence:
  • Provide customers with the services of setting up and switching cross connections (optical fiber pairs) between the customer (telecom operator) equipment and Yandex Cloud equipment.
  • Provide customers with the services of placing the customer equipment at the point of presence.
• Telecom operators:
  • Provide customers with the services of setting up communication channels between the customer infrastructure and Yandex Cloud equipment at the points of presence.
  • Provide customers with IP services when connected to Cloud Interconnect.

Yandex Cloud does not provide any point of presence or telecom operator services to customers, including the following:

• Setting up and switching cross connections at the points of presence.
• Organizing communication channels at the points of presence.
• Placement of equipment at the points of presence.
