Cloud Interconnect overview

Cloud Interconnect is designed to set up IP network connectivity between the resources in the client infrastructure and cloud resources in Yandex Cloud.

Here is an example of connectivity setup:

In this example, the client has the following resources:

• On-premise infrastructure where the client resources, such as dedicated servers, are deployed.
• Cloud infrastructure in Yandex Cloud where cloud resources, such as VMs, are deployed.

The goal is to ensure the IP network connectivity between resources in the client's own infrastructure and cloud resources in Yandex Cloud.

To solve this task, you will need to do the following:

• Set up a trunk.
• Create a private connection within this trunk.
• Configure a point-to-point subnet and BGP connectivity in the private connection. Cloud Interconnect will not work without BGP connectivity.
• Announce cloud subnet prefixes on the Yandex Cloud virtual network side using BGP.
• Announce the prefixes of subnets with client resources on the client infrastructure side using BGP.

Once you are done, you will have the IP connectivity available between your infrastructure resources and cloud resources in Yandex Cloud so that they can exchange IP traffic between each other.
