Regions
A region is the geographic area where the data center of the cloud provider that hosts your project is located. Review the available Elastic Cloud Serverless regions to decide which region to use. If you aren’t sure which region to pick, choose one that is geographically close to you to reduce latency.
Elastic Cloud Serverless handles all hosting details for you. You are unable to change the region after you create a project.
Currently, a limited number of Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) regions are available. More regions for AWS, Azure, and GCP, will be added in the future.

When procuring Elastic Cloud through AWS Marketplace, Azure Marketplace, or GCP Marketplace, only the regions corresponding to the same cloud service provider can be used. This ensures that you can enjoy the benefits of the marketplace, such as Elastic Cloud contributing towards your spend commitment with cloud providers.
You can implement a multi-cloud strategy by creating a separate Elastic Cloud organization, either from another marketplace, or directly at cloud.elastic.co.
For example, if you have created a project in eu-central-1 after signing up on AWS Marketplace, you can provision another project in GCP europe-west1 by signing up for a second Elastic Cloud organization on GCP Marketplace, using another email address.
