Regions
To make your services available all over the world, it is possible to select the region where the VK Cloud Services infrastructure is located. Each region is a geographic area that includes local data centers. Each data center within the region consists in its own availability zone, isolated from each other to increase the fault tolerance of the system.
You have the opportunity to independently choose the region where the capacities, disks and other services of your users are located.
When creating a project, the Moscow region is selected by default. To change the region, in the header of your personal account, click on the name of the current region and select the desired region from the drop-down list.
Within the same project, resources can be created in different regions. To ensure fault tolerance, resources from different regions are not linked to each other. If no resources were previously created in the current region, they will not be displayed in the interface.
Depending on the region, the list of available services may vary. Information about available services is displayed on the left, in the services menu in your personal account.
To ensure network connectivity between regions, you must use a VPN, or organize connectivity over the Internet. At the moment, virtual networks of different regions cannot be combined.
Rates may vary depending on the region. To get pricing information, select a region and click "User -> Project Settings -> Prices".
The Billing page is the same for all regions. You can learn more in the article “Billing”.
Depending on the region, project quotas may differ. To get information about available quotas, select a region and click "User -> Manage Quotas". For more information about the Quotas section, see the article Quotas. To increase quotas contact our support.
- CLI
You can use the CLI to manage resources in any of the regions.
The resource region is determined by the settings specified in the openrc file. To use the CLI in each region, you need to get your own openrc configuration file.
To get the openrc configuration file, select the region and click "User -> Project Settings -> API Keys -> Download openrc version 3".
You can learn more about setting up the CLI in the CLI section of the Management Interfaces article.
