Vertex AI locations

Google Cloud uses regions, subdivided into zones, to define the geographic location of physical computing resources. Google stores and processes your data only in the region you specify for all features of Vertex AI except for data labeling tasks and any feature in experimental or preview launch status.

Choosing your location

You can choose any supported location when you create a dataset, train a custom-trained model that doesn't use a managed dataset, or when you import an existing model. You should typically use the region closest to your physical location or the physical location of your intended users, but check that the Vertex AI feature you want to use is supported in your region. There is no global location.

For operations other than creating a dataset or importing a model, you must use the location of the resources you are operating on. For example, when you create a training pipeline that uses a managed dataset, you must use the region where the dataset is located.

Specifying the location using Google Cloud console

When you use Google Cloud console, you specify the location by using the location drop-down menu:

locations drop-down menu

Specifying the location using the Vertex AI API

You specify the location for a Vertex AI API request by using the appropriate regional endpoint.

For example, to make a request in the europe-west4 region, use the following endpoint:

https://europe-west4-aiplatform.googleapis.com

To make a request in the us-central1 region, use the following endpoint:

https://us-central1-aiplatform.googleapis.com

When you specify a resource, you use the name of the resource's region as the location. For example, a dataset in the us-central1 region would be specified using the following path:

projects/PROJECT/locations/us-central1/datasets/DATASET_ID

See the list of supported service endpoints.

Feature availability

Some Vertex AI features are not available in all regions. The following table lists the features that are available in each region.

The following sortable table lets you select different options to see where Vertex AI features are available. For example, to see a list of regions where Vertex AI Feature Store is available in Europe, you can select Europe from the Select a location drop-down menu, and Vertex AI Feature Store from the Select a feature drop-down menu.

Region considerations

Using accelerators

Accelerators are available on a region basis. The following table lists all the available accelerators for each region.

You can search either by location or GPU model, or a combination of both.

* The specified accelerator isn't available for serving batch or online predictions.

The specified accelerator isn't available for training.

The specified accelerator isn't available for Vertex AI Workbench managed notebooks or user-managed notebooks.

If your job uses multiple types of GPUs, they must all be available in a single zone in your region. For example, you can't run a job in australia-southeast1 using NVIDIA Tesla P4 GPUs, NVIDIA Tesla T4 GPUs, and NVIDIA Tesla P100 GPUs. While all of these GPUs are available for jobs in australia-southeast1, no single zone in that region provides all three types of GPU. To learn more about the zone availability of GPUs, see GPU availability by regions and zones.

BigQuery location requirements

When you use a BigQuery table as a source for a managed tabular dataset or tabular prediction data, it must conform to the following location requirements:

Americas

  • BigQuery tables can be either multi-regional (US) or regional (us-central1).

  • BigQuery views must be regional (us-central1).

  • If the table or view is not in the same project that the Vertex AI job is running in, make sure that Vertex AI has the correct roles.

Europe

  • BigQuery tables and views must be regional (europe-west4).

  • Location: The region that your Vertex AI job runs in, such as us-central1, europe-west4, or asia-east1.

  • If the table or view is not in the same project that the Vertex AI job is running in, make sure that Vertex AI has the correct roles.

Cloud Storage bucket requirements

Some Vertex AI tasks, such as importing data, use a Cloud Storage bucket.

  • We recommend that you use the following settings when creating a Cloud Storage bucket to use with Vertex AI:

    • Location type: Region.
    • Location: The region where you are using Vertex AI; for example, us-central1, europe-west4, or asia-east1.
    • Storage class: Standard.

    Using these settings often improves performance. For example, it's possible to use a bucket in a multi-region with Vertex AI, but loading data from a bucket in the same region as your Vertex AI resource might reduce latency.

    For Vertex AI training jobs, buckets must be regional.

  • If the bucket is not in the same project that the Vertex AI job is running in, make sure Vertex AI has the correct roles.

Restricting resource locations

Organization policy administrators can restrict the regions available where you can use Vertex AI by creating a resource locations constraint. Read about how a resource locations constraint applies to Vertex AI
