Regions in which EDS is available - Elastic Desktop Service

This topic describes the regions in which Elastic Desktop Service (EDS) is available.

What is a region?

Regions are geographical locations where Alibaba Cloud data centers are deployed. Regions are typically named after the cities where the data centers are deployed. For example, the data centers of the Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur) region reside in Kuala Lumpur.

Select a region

When you purchase an EDS resource, such as a cloud computer, you must select the region in which you want to deploy the resource. After the resource is created, you cannot change the region of the resource. For your convenience, proceed with caution when you select a region to deploy a resource.

Factor	Suggestion
Geographical location	We recommend that you select a region that is closest to the geographical location of your end users. Closer distance to a region indicates lower network latency and better user experience.
Specifications and price	The specifications and prices of cloud computers vary based on the region. You can go to the Pricing page to learn more and select a suitable region.
Network connectivity with other Alibaba Cloud services	We recommend that you consider the following issues about network connectivity with other Alibaba Cloud services when you select a region. If you do not require network connectivity, select a region based on your business requirements. If you require network connectivity, select a region and deploy cloud computers and the resources of other Alibaba Cloud services in the same region. Note If cloud computers must connect to the resources of other Alibaba Cloud services but they need to be deployed in different regions due to unexpected conditions, you can use Alibaba Cloud networking services to implement network connectivity. If you want to implement network connectivity across regions, you must create inter-region connections. You are charged for bandwidth during inter-region connections. For more information about billing on bandwidth, see Billing rules.
