Regions#

Each region is an independent data center with its own power, cooling and network edge. Resources are created in exactly one region and never move unless you migrate them.

Designing for availability#

A single server is only as available as its host. For production workloads we recommend:

  1. Run at least two instances behind a load balancer in the same region.
  2. Keep a warm standby or replicated database in a second region — for example IST1 + AYT1 or MOW1 + LED1.
  3. Store backups in a different region from the primary data.

Data residency#

Data stays in the region you select. Russian personal data should be stored in MOW1, MOW2 or LED1 to comply with Federal Law 152-FZ.
