Overview

Some customers may have regulatory requirements or information security policies which prohibit the default database connections over the public internet.

SkySQL services can optionally be configured for private connections using cloud provider-specific features:

• For SkySQL services on AWS, AWS PrivateLink

• For SkySQL services on GCP, Private Service Connect (PSC)

By default, client traffic to SkySQL services may transit the public internet and is protected with TLS/SSL and a firewall configured by IP allowlist.
