This guide describes how to configure private network connections between StreamNative Cloud and Google BigLake metastore. Private connectivity ensures that traffic between your StreamNative BYOC cluster and Google BigLake does not traverse the public internet. Google BigLake is available only on GCP. The following diagram shows the network path between your StreamNative BYOC cluster and Google BigLake metastore over private connectivity.

Prerequisites

​
Configure private connectivity

Google BigLake metastore is a Google-managed service that runs within the Google Cloud network. On GCP, StreamNative configures private network connections to Google Cloud APIs by default in all StreamNative environments. No additional action is required on your side in most cases. All traffic between your StreamNative BYOC cluster and Google BigLake stays within the Google private network automatically. If your BYOC cluster runs in a Shared VPC, you must configure private connectivity yourself. See Private Networking for Catalog Integration for details.
