Data residency
When you sign up for Identity Cloud, you specify the region where you want your data to reside. This is key in helping you meet data residency compliance requirements while letting you place data as close to your users as possible.
Identity Cloud uses pre-configured ranges of IP addresses in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) regions. The IP addresses are not exclusive to ForgeRock.
Data regions in production tenant URLs
ForgeRock supplies tenant URLs for your development, staging, and production tenant environments. All tenant URLs include the organization name and tenant name you provided when you signed up.
Identity Cloud uses region abbreviations in the production tenant URLs to indicate the region where data resides. Refer to the Regions section for the abbreviations.
For example, "usw1" is the abbreviation for the us-west1 region. Suppose your production tenant environment URL is:
https://openam-mycompany-mytenant-usw1.id.forgerock.io
The presence of the region abbreviation "usw1" as part of the URL indicates that your data resides in the us-west1 region.

The tables in this section show all the region abbreviations for the data regions that Identity Cloud uses.
