A region is a physical data center location. STAROps supports multiple regions with default selection rules, and you can switch between them as needed.
Supported Regions
STAROps uses a dual-center deployment model and supports the following regions:
| Area | Region | Region ID | Default Site |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chinese Mainland | China (Beijing) | cn-beijing | China site |
| Hong Kong (China), Macao (China), Taiwan (China), and regions outside China | Singapore | ap-southeast-1 | International site |
Default Region
-
STAROps console: The China (Beijing) region is selected by default on the China site, and Singapore is selected by default on the international site.
-
CMS 2.0 and SLS console: The STAROps regional center matching your current resource region is selected by default.
Switching Regions
STAROps Console
In the upper-right corner of the STAROps standalone console, click the current region name and select the target region from the drop-down list.
-
Available regions: China (Beijing) and Singapore.
-
When you switch regions for the first time, a dialog box prompts you to sign a cross-border data transfer agreement.
-
If you log in from a different device, you must sign the cross-border data transfer agreement again.
Switching regions causes cross-border data transfer between the STAROps region and the region where your data is stored.
CMS 2.0 and SLS Console
The STAROps regional center matching your current resource region is automatically selected. You cannot switch regions from these consoles.
How to Choose a Region
Consider the following factors when selecting a region:
| Factor | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| User location | Select the region closest to your users to minimize network latency. |
| Data compliance requirements | If your data must remain within a specific jurisdiction, select the region where your business resources are deployed. |
| Cloud service integration | STAROps accesses data from Cloud Monitor (CMS) and Log Service (SLS). Select the same region where these services are deployed to ensure reliable connectivity. |
