Dataproc Metastore regions

When you create a Dataproc Metastore service, you permanently set a geographic location for your service to reside in, otherwise known as a region.

You can select from the following location types:

  • A region is a specific geographic place, such as São Paulo.
  • A custom-region (Preview) is a specific pair of regions, such as Iowa and South Carolina.
  • A multi-region is a large geographic area, such as the United States, that contains two or more geographic places.
