ENS node distribution - ENS - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

ENS operates two types of edge infrastructure worldwide. CDN edge nodes (3,200+) provide broad geographic reach inherited from Alibaba Cloud's content delivery network. Public cloud edge nodes (900+) are purpose-built to run full cloud services — compute, networking, and storage — at the edge. Together they cover 70+ countries and regions, so you can choose the node type that matches your workload's requirements.

All nodes run in premium data centers developed by Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Real-time network quality monitoring and troubleshooting keep network reliability above 99.9%.

FAQ

How can I query the exact physical location of an ENS node (down to street address)?

The node distribution table in this document shows region-level coverage only. Exact physical locations of ENS nodes — such as data center names, street addresses, or doorplate numbers — are non-public information and are not disclosed in public documentation.

If you need the precise physical location of a specific node for special scenarios such as compliance audits or dedicated line access, submit a ticket to apply. Alibaba Cloud will verify your request and provide the information on a case-by-case basis.
