Concepts

We use a region to identify the location of a data center. You can create resources in a specific region.

A region is a physical data center. Each region is completely independent, improving fault tolerance and stability. After a resource is created, its region cannot be changed.

Region Selection

You are advised to select a region close to you or your target users. This reduces network latency and improves access rate.

Changing the Region of an Instance

You cannot change the region of an instance.

Regions and Endpoints

An endpoint is the request address for calling an API. Endpoints vary depending on services and regions. You can obtain endpoints from Regions and Endpoints.
