Hi there @m15802599187,

Great question! In this case, SFO1 is one of the regions which is now considered a legacy region and so we are no longer provisioning new capacity. AMS2 & NYC2 are also both legacy regions.

I’d recommend choosing a region that isn’t considered a legacy region moving forward to ensure you have an easy deployment process. In this case, SFO2 has exactly the same setup as the legacy SFO1 region, so you would not see a difference in latency etc.

Hope that helps! - Matt.
