Region
Answer in brief
A region is a provider’s name for a place where it runs machines, which can mean one facility, several in a metro area, or only a country.
Region in practice
Region names are not standard. One provider writes a city, another a compass point and a number. Ask what the name maps to before you rely on it.
Stock, quotas and sometimes prices are set for each region. A GPU listed by a provider is not listed in every region it has. Runcrate’s feed lists GPUs in the United States in Ashburn, Jackson, West Palm Beach, New York, Dulles, Culpeper, Newark, Houston, Phoenix, Austin, Des Moines, Las Vegas, Seattle, Los Angeles, San Jose, Texas and US Midwest.
