Node regions

In cloud computing, the concept of ‘regions’ refers to the specific geographical locations where cloud service providers operate their data centers. Each region represents a distinct area, often encompassing multiple data centers, that hosts cloud resources and services. These regions are strategically selected to reduce latency, improve redundancy, and comply with local data laws and regulations. By choosing a region closer to the end-users or their target audience, businesses can achieve faster data transfer rates and better application performance. Additionally, adhering to regional data sovereignty laws is crucial for companies handling sensitive information, making the choice of region an important consideration in cloud infrastructure planning.

For user convenience, Cloudfleet maps provider regions into a unified schema of regions and sub-regions:

  • Africa: South;
  • Asia-Pacific: East (China regions are disabled by default), West, South East, North East, South;
  • Europe: East, West,Central, North, South;
  • North America: East, West, Central, North, South;
  • South America: East, West;

Note: Cloudfleet does not support all regions of every cloud provider. Currently, Cloudfleet does not operate in China. Companies wishing to use Cloudfleet in China need to provide a valid business license issued by the Bureau of Industry and Commerce, along with valid contact information. If you already possess the required documentation, please reach out to your Cloudfleet account manager.

Below is a breakdown of Cloudfleet regions and how they correspond to the respective supported cloud providers:
