Locations for observability buckets

This page explains how regionality applies to data that is stored in an observability bucket. It also lists the geographical locations for these buckets.

Overview

Observability buckets are regional resources. These resources can store data generated by Google Cloud services, like Cloud Trace. With the exception of observability buckets in the eu or us regions, Google Cloud manages the infrastructure so that your applications are available redundantly across the zones within the region.

You can specify the location and encryption model for observability buckets by configuring default settings for observability buckets. These settings can be defined at the organization, folder, and project level. Unless you set the default settings for observability buckets for a resource, that resource automatically inherit the default settings for observability buckets of their parent.
