Cloud Service Providers: Supported Regions

Estimated Reading Time:  4 minutes

Overview

When you deploy services with Unqork, you have requirements to consider. These considerations might include:

  • Proximity to your customers or users.

  • Redundancies, availability, latency, and failover.

  • Disaster recovery.

  • Data residency preferences or legal requirements.

  • Availability of services by region.

Unqork hosts and manages customer environments on AWS and Azure. Customers can elect to have Unqork deploy on either cloud. Using the same CSP (cloud service provider) as your own cloud allows for added synergies. For example, using a direct connection like AWS PrivateLink instead of Azure Private Link.

AWS and Azure both divide their global infrastructure into regions. Each region contains at least one availability zone that houses the physical infrastructure. These infrastructures can be data centers, networking, connectivity, and so on. The AWS availability zones in each region interconnect with high-bandwidth, low-latency networks. There are some limitations as not all regions offer the full suite of products and services.

You must let Unqork know in what region(s) to deploy services. If you have data residency requirements, you must specify them to Unqork. If you don't have a preference or don't tell Unqork where to deploy, Unqork defaults to AWS in the US East (Ohio) region. While either CSP can provide the basic services necessary for Unqork, AWS is the most reliable.

NOTE  Unqork has vetted all AWS and Azure regions for you. Below you can see details of supported and unsupported regions. If you're looking for a region that doesn't appear below, you can assume it's unsupported.
