Provisions and manages Redpanda Cloud BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) clusters via the Control Plane API (api.redpanda.com) and the \`rpk cloud byoc\` plugin, where your VPC, IAM roles, and storage stay in your own AWS, GCP, or Azure account. Use when creating or tearing down BYOC clusters and Networks; wiring customer-managed IAM roles, buckets, or subnets into a cluster; setting up private connectivity (AWS PrivateLink, GCP Private Service Connect, Azure Private Link, VPC peering, or Transit Gateway egress); configuring dual listener mode (a public and a private listener per service); scaling a cluster by broker count or tier; registering cross-account AWS access; managing Shadow Link cross-cluster DR; running \`rpk cloud byoc apply\`; or enabling Enterprise features (Tiered Storage, Cloud Topics, Iceberg Topics, Continuous Data Balancing, RBAC, and more) on a BYOC cluster. For Serverless clusters, see \`/redpanda:cloud-serverless\`; for fully Redpanda-managed Dedicated clusters, see \`/redpanda:cloud-dedicated\`.

## From README

Redpanda Cloud API: BYOC Clusters BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) lets you run Redpanda in your own AWS, GCP, or Azure account: Redpanda manages the control plane and agent lifecycle, while your VPC, IAM roles, and storage buckets stay under your cloud account. You pay cloud infrastructure costs directly. This is the primary alternative to Serverless, which runs entirely in Redpanda's account. The provisioning workflow has three phases: (1) create a Network resource that registers your VPC/VNet with Redpanda, (2) create a Cluster resource of TYPEBYOC referencing that network, and (3) run rpk cloud byoc apply --redpanda-id to execute the Terraform that installs the agent in your cloud account. BYOVNet on Azure is the exception.
