Review the IBM Cloud Schematics supported locations and how Schematics differentiates between the user data and template storage location, and the deployment region of your IBM Cloud® resources.

## Where can I create and run Schematics workspaces?
{: #where-wks-created}

You can choose to create a Schematics workspace in the US or Europe geographies by using one of the following API endpoints, or by using the **Location** drop-down menu in the IBM Cloud console.

For more information about the Schematics private service endpoint, see [Using private endpoints](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/schematics?topic=schematics-secure-data&format=markdown#pi-location).
{: tip}

## Where do my Schematics actions run?
{: #where-do-locations-run}

The location that you choose for your Schematics workspace determines the location where your Schematics jobs, such `plan` or `apply`, run.

|Geography/ location |Location to run Schematics actions|
|------------|---------------- |
|North America|Schematics jobs run in either the `us-south` or `us-east` location.|
|Dallas|Schematics jobs run in the `us-south` location.|
|Washington|Schematics jobs run in the `us-east` location.|
|Europe|Schematics jobs run in either the `eu-de` or `eu-gb` location.|
|Frankfurt|Schematics jobs run in the `eu-de` location.|
|London|Schematics jobs run in the `eu-gb` location.|
|Toronto|Schematics jobs run in the `ca-tor` location.|
|Montreal|Schematics jobs run in the `ca-mon` location.|

## Where is my Schematics and template data stored?
{: #where-is-data-stored}

The region your workspace data is stored is determined by the location where you create your workspace. For more information, see [Securing your data](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/schematics?topic=schematics-secure-data&format=markdown).

## Where are my Cloud resources provisioned?
{: #where-are-resources-provisioned}

The region or regions where your Cloud resources are provisioned are determined by the region that you specify in your Terraform configuration. You can specify a region for each individual resource, or to specify a region in the `provider` block of your Terraform configuration that is applied to all resources. Multiple regions are supported by using provider aliases. For more information, see [Terraform `provider` block configuration](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/ibm-cloud-provider-for-terraform?topic=ibm-cloud-provider-for-terraform-provider-reference&format=markdown).
