Data residency

Data at rest

Data stored at rest in the customer selected location remains at rest in that location, independent of the Generative AI on Vertex AI endpoint called by that customer's request.

ML processing

Machine learning (ML) processing for Generative AI on Vertex AI services occurs within the specific region or multi-region where the request is made.

If ML processing is unavailable in the region where the request was made, Google Cloud uses an available region. See the following tables for regional availability:
