This page details which R2 location or jurisdiction is recommended based on your Snowflake region.
You have the following inputs to control the physical location where objects in your R2 buckets are stored (for more information refer to data location):
Location hints: Specify a geophrical area (for example, Asia-Pacific or Western Europe). R2 makes a best effort to place your bucket in or near that location to optimize performance. You can confirm bucket placement after creation by navigating to the Settings tab of your bucket and referring to the Bucket details section.
Jurisdictions: Enforce that data is both stored and processed within a specific jurisdiction (for example, the EU or FedRAMP environment). Use jurisdictions when you need to ensure data is stored and processed within a jurisdiction to meet data residency requirements, including local regulations such as the GDPR ↗ or FedRAMP ↗.
