    Region-endpoint mapping

    Use region-specific endpoints when configuring PAI SDK or API calls. Each region has dedicated endpoints for PAI and EAS services.

    SDK configuration examples

    Configure region and endpoint when initializing PAI SDK client.

    Python SDK - US West region

    from pai.client import Client

# Configure for US West (Silicon Valley) region
client = Client(
    access_key_id='<your-access-key-id>',
    access_key_secret='<your-access-key-secret>',
    region_id='us-west-1',  # Specify region
    endpoint='https://pai.us-west-1.aliyuncs.com'  # US endpoint
)

# For EAS service in US region
eas_endpoint = 'https://pai-eas.us-west-1.aliyuncs.com'
service_name = 'your-model-service'

    Python SDK - EU region

    from pai.client import Client

# Configure for EU (Germany Frankfurt) region
client = Client(
    access_key_id='<your-access-key-id>',
    access_key_secret='<your-access-key-secret>',
    region_id='eu-central-1',  # Germany Frankfurt
    endpoint='https://pai.eu-central-1.aliyuncs.com'
)

    How to choose a region

    Consider these factors when selecting a PAI region:

    • Data residency: Choose region matching data storage location to minimize data transfer costs and latency.

    • Latency: Select region closest to end users for better performance.

    • Service availability: Verify required services available in target region (see table above).

    • Pricing: Costs may vary by region. Check pricing documentation for details.

    • Compliance: Some industries require specific regions (for example, GDPR requires EU regions).

    Recommendation: For international users, US-West-1 (Silicon Valley) offers best balance of services and performance.

    Troubleshooting

    Common issues when configuring regions and their solutions.

    Error: Cannot select US/EU region in SDK configuration

    Symptoms: SDK connection fails or times out when using US or EU region ID.

    Root cause: Documentation doesn't show region-endpoint mapping clearly. Users may use wrong endpoint or omit endpoint parameter.

    Solution:

    1. Check region-endpoint mapping table above for correct endpoint.

    2. Specify both region_id and endpoint parameters in SDK initialization.

    3. Verify access key has permissions for target region.

    Example for US West region:

    client = Client(
    access_key_id='your-key',
    access_key_secret='your-secret',
    region_id='us-west-1',
    endpoint='https://pai.us-west-1.aliyuncs.com'  # Required
)

    Prevention: Check region availability table before starting development. Verify service support for target region.

    Error: Service not available in my region

    Symptoms: API returns "Service not found" or "Service not supported" error.

    Root cause: PAI services have different regional availability. Not all services available in all regions.

    Solution:

    1. Check "Available Services" column in region-endpoint mapping table.

    2. If service not available, consider using nearest region that supports the service.

    3. For cross-region data access, configure VPC peering or use OSS for data transfer.

    Example: DLC not available in EU (Frankfurt). Use US-West-1 or Asia Pacific regions instead.

    Prevention: Verify service and region combination before purchasing resources or starting development.

    Error: Region mismatch between compute and storage

    Symptoms: Job fails with "Cannot access OSS bucket" or "Permission denied" despite correct credentials.

    Root cause: PAI compute resources and OSS bucket in different regions. Cross-region access requires internet transfer, which may be blocked.

    Solution:

    1. Create OSS bucket in same region as PAI workspace.

    2. If cross-region access required, enable OSS bucket public read (not recommended for sensitive data).

    3. Or migrate data to OSS bucket in correct region before running jobs.

    Prevention: Plan resource topology before setup. Keep compute and storage resources in same region.
