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 |

STAROps Console
Select a region when you create a Digital Employee:

Go to the Digital Employee creation page.
-
In the Select Region area, select the target region.
-

Complete the other configuration for the Digital Employee, then click OK to create it.
Selecting a region can cause cross-border data transfer between the STAROps service region and the region where data is stored.
-
When you select a different region 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.
For more information about cross-border data transfer, see Data Security and Compliance.

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. |
