Choosing the Right Cloud Region

After you choose the cloud provider, you choose the region where the event broker services are created. You can create event broker services in any cloud region, regardless of the location of your Home Cloud, or the type of deployment ownership model you are operating.

  • Public Region and Dedicated Region deployments can choose from any public region around the world offered by the various cloud providers available in PubSub+ Cloud. If you don't see a region for a cloud provider that you require, contact Solace.
  • Customer-Controlled Region deployments have more flexibility in choosing deployment regions, as you own the infrastructure.

For more information, see Deployment Options for PubSub+ Cloud and Deployment Architecture for Kubernetes.

You should consider the following before choosing the right region for creating your event broker service:

  • Physical Location—Choose a region that is physically close to the location where your microservices or client applications are running. If you are concerned with disaster recovery, you may choose to use multiple regions and link them together with an event mesh.

  • Latency—For best performance, you should consider the latency from your microservices or client applications to different clouds and regions, which can be affected by the location and cloud you choose. The most ideal scenarios is where the event broker services are co-located with your applications and networked together with an event mesh.

  • Politics and Laws—If you are concerned about data residency due to data sovereignty laws, select the correct regions for your event broker services that match your data residency needs. You may have specific data-residency requirements for your customer data, which may dictate which region you should choose.

Event broker services can be created in the following regions for Public Regions, Dedicated Regions, and Customer-Controlled Regions unless noted.

If you don't see a region or cloud provider that you require, contact Solace.

Datacenter Identifiers for Public Regions

You can see or request the datacenter identifiers for cloud regions where you can deploy event broker services using:

If you don't see a datacenter that you require using either method, contact Solace.

Getting Datacenter Identifiers Using the Create Service Page in the Cloud Console

You can use the Service Creation page in the Cloud Console to see a list of available datacenter identifiers after selecting a cloud provider. To see a list of datacenter identifiers, perform these steps:

  1. Log in to the PubSub+ Cloud Console if you have not done so yet. The URL to access the Cloud Console differs based on your authentication scheme. For more information, see Logging In to the PubSub+ Cloud Console.
  2. Select Cluster Manager on the navigation bar.
  3. On the Services page, click Create Service at the top right corner of the page, or, click the Create Service card.
  4. In the Cloud list, select a cloud provider:
  5. Select the Region field to see a list of datacenter identifiers and locations for the cloud provider you selected in the Cloud field.

For more information, see Creating Event Broker Services.

Getting Datacenter Identifiers Using the REST API

To retrieve the most current list of Public Regions, you can issue a GET request to https://api.solace.cloud/api/v2/datacenters.
