Regions determine where compute, databases, clusters, and networking resources run.

​
Choosing a region

Pick a region based on:
  • User latency.
  • Data residency needs.
  • Service availability.
  • Cost.
  • Proximity to related resources.
For lower latency, keep application VMs, PostgreSQL databases, Kubernetes clusters, and load balancers in the same region when possible.
Available regions can differ by product and provider capacity.
