Elastic Desktop Service (EDS) is available in multiple regions worldwide. A region is a geographical area where Alibaba Cloud data centers are located, typically named after the city that hosts them. For example, the data centers of the Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur) region are in Kuala Lumpur.
Choose a region
Region selection is permanent — you cannot change the region of an EDS resource after it is created. Consider the following factors before deploying.
Factor | Guidance |
Proximity to end users | Select the region closest to your end users to minimize network latency and improve the desktop experience. |
Specifications and pricing | Cloud computer specifications and prices vary by region. See the Pricing page for a full comparison. |
Network connectivity with other Alibaba Cloud services | Deploy cloud computers and other Alibaba Cloud resources in the same region to avoid cross-region traffic. If you need resources in different regions, use Alibaba Cloud networking services to establish connectivity. Cross-region connections are billed for bandwidth — see Billing rules. |
