Choosing the Right Cloud Region

After you choose the cloud provider, you choose the region where the event broker services are created.

  • For Public Regions, you can choose from many public regions around the world for the various cloud providers available in PubSub+ Cloud. Each cloud provider has multiple regions available throughout the world. If you don't see a region available that you require, contact Solace.
  • For Customer-Controlled Regions and Dedicated Regions, these are private cloud regions. The regions available depend on your deployment. For Dedicated Regions, any region in the world can be requested. For Customer-Controlled Regions, you have more deployment options since you own the region. For more information, see Deployment Architecture for Kubernetes.

When you create your event broker service, the right region for your event broker service, consider the following:

  • 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.
