Which regions does the SQL Server cloud database support?

The SQL Server cloud database is typically available in multiple geographic regions to ensure low latency, high availability, and compliance with local data regulations. The specific regions depend on the cloud provider, but common regions include North America (e.g., East US, West US), Europe (e.g., North Europe, West Europe), Asia Pacific (e.g., Southeast Asia, East Asia), and other major hubs.

For example, if you deploy a SQL Server database in a cloud environment, you might choose:

• East US for users in the eastern United States.
• Southeast Asia for users in countries like Singapore or Indonesia.
• West Europe for users in the UK or Germany.

In the context of Tencent Cloud, the SQL Server cloud database is supported in regions such as ap-guangzhou (Guangzhou), ap-shanghai (Shanghai), na-siliconvalley (Silicon Valley), and ap-singapore (Singapore). These regions allow businesses to optimize performance and meet data residency requirements.

When selecting a region, consider factors like user location, compliance needs, and cost. Tencent Cloud provides detailed documentation on available regions and their benefits for SQL Server deployments.
