Available regions
| Region | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
us-east | Available | The single region today |
region: "us-east" (or pick “US East” in the dashboard) on every create call. The List Regions endpoint returns the current set programmatically.
What region scope means
A region is a hard boundary — resources from different regions cannot share networking or be moved between regions in place.| Scope | Behavior |
|---|---|
| VM location | The VM’s CPU, RAM, and disk physically live in the chosen region’s datacenter |
| VPC scope | A VPC and every VM in it must share a region. You can’t have one VPC spanning two regions |
| Public IPs | IPv4 / IPv6 addresses come from region-specific pools. A reserved IP can only attach to VMs in the same region it was reserved in |
| Volumes | A volume can only attach to VMs in its own region |
| Object Storage | Buckets are region-scoped; same-region traffic between VMs and Object Storage is free |
| Snapshots and backups | Stored in the same region as the source VM |
Picking a region
With one region today, the choice is straightforward —us-east. When this matters more in the future:
- Latency — pick the region closest to your users. Round-trip time to a region is the floor of how fast your service can respond
- Data residency — if you have customer-data-locality requirements, the region determines where the data is stored
- Cross-region traffic — same-region traffic between Raff resources is free; cross-region (when other regions exist) goes over the public internet and counts against egress
Migrating a VM to a different region
You can’t change a running VM’s region. The migration path:- Snapshot the source VM (or save its OS disk as a Custom Image)
- Create a new VM in the target region from that image
- Restore data from any volume snapshots or backups, or copy data via SCP/SFTP/rsync
- Update DNS / load balancer / clients to point at the new VM
- Delete the source VM when the cutover is done — unused subscription time credits back to your balance
