Data Regions & Availability

Polyaxon Cloud is designed for high availability and offers multiple data regions to meet your needs.

Our database and application run on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) infrastructure, with PostgreSQL managed by GCP Cloud SQL.

Connecting to a Region

To connect to a specific data region using the Polyaxon SDKs, you need to set the base URL environment variable or pass it during initialization:

• Python: Set POLYAXON_HOST environment variable or use the host parameter.
• CLI: Set POLYAXON_HOST environment variable or use polyaxon config set --host=<url>.

Example base URLs:

• https://cloud.polyaxon.com

Refer to the SDK documentation for detailed configuration instructions.

Choosing a Region

When selecting a data region, consider the following factors:

• Compliance and data privacy requirements: Choose the region that aligns with your organization's data residency needs (e.g., GDPR often favors the EU region).
• Latency for API access: Select the region closer to your application servers and agents for lower latency when interacting with the Polyaxon API.
• Latency for UI access: Choose the region closer to your team's location for a faster experience when using the Polyaxon web interface.

Less critical factor:

• Metadata ingestion latency: Run metadata and tracking data is sent asynchronously, making ingestion latency less of a direct concern for workload performance.

Business Continuity & Availability

Self-hosted Instances

Alternatively, you can self-host Polyaxon for full control over your data and infrastructure. For installation and configuration, see: Self-hosting guide
