Cboe Global Cloud is a new real-time data streaming service from Cboe Global Markets delivering Cboe Data with tick-level granularity and built-in redundancy. Cboe Global Cloud enables Cboe Data availability and dissemination in multiple locations around the world and offers various secure connectivity and access options. Cboe Global Cloud does not require any cloud account or presence, as clients can be running on-premises systems in a local data center, or within another infrastructure provider’s environment.

Cboe Global Cloud will initially provide access to the following Cboe Data products: Cboe One Premium, Cboe One Summary, BZX Top, EDGX Top, CFE Top, and Cboe Global Indices. Additional Cboe Data will be included in the service through a phased rollout.

For additional information on the specifications, please review the Cboe Titanium Cboe Global Cloud Feed Specification, which describes the technical specifications associated with all Cboe data products available within Cboe Global Cloud.

Additional Cboe Data products to be added to the Cboe Global Cloud service in the future include the complete Cboe Global Equities Data package covering U.S., Canadian, pan-European, and Australian international equity securities from 22 countries, Cboe Global Indices, Cboe Options Data, Cboe FX Data, and Analytics.

Cboe Global Cloud enables Cboe Data availability and dissemination in locations around the world. Cboe Data will be made available through leveraging the Amazon Web services (AWS) global network in the following three (3) regions to start:

• Virginia (US-East-1)​​
• London (EU-West-2)​
• Hong Kong (AP-East-1)
• Singapore (AP-Southeast-1)
• Canada (CA-Central-1)
• Sydney (AP-southeast-2)
• Tokyo (AP-Northeast-1)

Additional regions will be included in the service through a phased rollout based on client demand.

The Cboe Global Cloud service provides the following three (3) distinct secure connectivity and access options for customers:

• PrivateLink - This option is a suitable access method if customer systems and/or processes are running within AWS Cloud (i.e., a current AWS customer).
• Internet Gateway (IGW) - This option is a suitable access method for customer systems and/or processes running on-premises in a local data center, or in another infrastructure provider’s environment.
• Virtual Private Network (VPN) - This option is a suitable access method for customer systems and/or processes running on-premises in a local data center, or in another infrastructure provider’s environment, where a virtual private connection is preferred over internet delivery.

Cboe Global Cloud offers Cboe Data through a fully real-time streaming dissemination service with tick-by-tick level granularity.

Cboe Global Cloud will make Cboe Data available in JSON format for simple consumption and integration within customer systems and processes. Cboe Data’s native binary format has been translated into JSON format for ease of access, use, and integration within client systems and/or processes.

Additional formats such as exchange native binary format can be delivered based upon customer request.

Reference data will include the following fields and be delivered to an AWS S3 bucket once per day before the trading day begins for the U.S. equity market:

• Cboe ID
• Name
• Description
• CountryCode
• Currency
• EntityType
• Exchange
• LotSize

This feature of Cboe Global Cloud will not be available upon launch. It is scheduled to be available in a future phased release. Additional reference data can be requested and will be evaluated for inclusion in the service based on client request.

The Cboe Global Cloud service offers fully redundant and geographically diverse hosts made available to ensure service resiliency. A primary host will be available in New Jersey, while a secondary host will be available in Chicago. In the event of a primary host failure, the Cboe Global Cloud service will fail over to the secondary process in Chicago representing a seamless transition to end customers. In the case of a regional failure within AWS, a backup connection to Cboe Global Cloud in another region can ensure service continuity.

The TCP/IP protocol for delivery through Kafka will publish to a commit log ensuring that no messages are missed, while allowing any disconnects to be resumed at the state of the book where the connection had ceased. Additionally, all Cboe Data disseminated via Cboe Global Cloud will contain sequence numbers and timestamp messages in the event of a disconnect, or failover from NY to Chicago, for customers to track their current state of the book.

Cboe Global Cloud offers diverse paths to the various regions where Cboe Data is available, and as such latencies may differ slightly. For estimated latencies depending on your setup and endpoint, please reach out to your Cboe Director of Sales for additional information.

Yes, Cboe Global Cloud can be used to connect Cboe Data to your systems and/or services via either the VPN or Internet Gateway access methods, even if hosted on-premises in a local data center or within another infrastructure provider’s environment.

Yes, Cboe Global Cloud can be used to connect to your systems and/or services hosted within AWS via the PrivateLink, VPN, or Internet Gateway access methods.

No, an AWS account is not needed to access Cboe Data via the Cboe Global Cloud service through either the VPN or Internet Gateway access methods. Only the PrivateLink access method will require that the client has an AWS account.

Access costs for Cboe Global Cloud for PrivateLink, VPN, and Internet Gateway access methods are posted to the Cboe Global Cloud Price List. For additional information regarding access costs, please reach out to your Cboe Director of Sales.

The only case where AWS would invoice a Cboe Global Cloud client directly is for the PrivateLink access method, which is an AWS-native service that requires an AWS account and would result in PrivateLink charges being billed directly by AWS. The VPN and Internet Gateway access methods will not trigger any AWS fees billable to Cboe Global Cloud clients.

Due to the associated bandwidth and data transfer costs applicable to real-time dissemination of Cboe Data products via Cboe Global Cloud on a per connection basis, each customer will have the option to obtain up to a maximum of two connections for redundancy purposes at this time.

The process for establishing connectivity to the Cboe Global Cloud service will be facilitated through the Cboe Customer Web Portal. Using the Cloud Connection Request Tool on the left-hand side of the screen under the Tools section, customers can submit a cloud connection request to begin the provisioning process. Upon receipt of the request, the Cboe Network Operations Center (NOC) Team will work with each client to establish Cboe Global Cloud connectivity as per their specific access requirements.

Cboe Global Cloud allows customers to receive real-time data from Cboe Global Markets through an Apache Kafka service hosted in AWS. Cboe does not recommend any specific Apache Kafka distribution or managed service, but general documentation can be found within the Apache Kafka documentation.
