​
Overview

Locations show the available geographical locations for each of the following cloud providers:
  • Amazon Web Services (AWS)
  • Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
  • Microsoft Azure
Locations are scoped to an org and the org administrator can turn off/on the locations that are permitted when configuring a GVC. By default, all locations are enabled. If a location is disabled, any workloads within that location will be removed. Further, if a location is enabled, all workloads will be provisioned to that location.
If a company is restricted for legal or compliance reasons to only use certain cloud providers, disabling those providers will ensure that workloads will not be deployed to those providers.

​
Locations

Control Plane can enable any cloud provider location. If a location is not shown, please email support@controlplane.com with the provider and location and it will be provisioned.

​
Custom Locations

CPLN Platform (BYOK) enables you to add new locations by registering your own Kubernetes clusters as locations in the Control Plane platform. For a guide on how to create new BYOK locations and further details, refer to the BYOK documentation.
