Developers can pick a region per sandbox or set a project-wide default, and Pro/Enterprise teams can configure failover regions so new sandboxes start in the closest available region if the primary is down. Snapshots remain tied to their creation region and can't be moved, though Vercel automatically loads snapshots across regions during failover. Configuration is available via project settings, the Vercel CLI, the Sandbox CLI, or the SDK's Sandbox.create() method, and users are advised to update to the latest SDK/CLI versions. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What regions does Vercel Sandbox support now? Vercel Sandbox runs in four regions: iad1 (Washington, D.C.), sfo1 (San Francisco), cle1 (Cleveland), and cdg1 (Paris), with iad1 as the default region. Support for additional Vercel regions is planned. Region selection is available on all plans, while failover regions are configurable only on Pro and Enterprise plans. _Track region rollouts like this on daily.dev when choosing where to run latency-sensitive sandbox workloads._ ### How do I set a failover region for Vercel Sandbox? Failover regions can be configured through project Settings > Sandboxes, the Vercel CLI, or the Sandbox SDK/CLI. For example, running 'vercel project update my-project --sandbox-region cdg1 --sandbox-failover-regions iad1,cle1' sets cdg1 as primary with iad1 and cle1 as failovers. If the primary region is unavailable, new sandboxes start in the closest configured failover region, and Vercel loads snapshots across regions automatically. _Engineers designing resilient sandbox deployments follow configuration changes like this on daily.dev._ ### Can Vercel Sandbox snapshots be moved between regions? No, snapshots stay in the region where they were created and cannot be moved manually. To create or resume a sandbox from a snapshot, both the sandbox and the snapshot must be in the same region, though during failover Vercel automatically handles loading the snapshot across regions. _Developers debugging sandbox snapshot restore issues keep up with these platform details on daily.dev._ ## Community discussion Top comments from developers on daily.dev. **@pdfopsdev** · 0 upvotes > region pinning on snapshots is the gotcha people will hit first. provision a snapshot in dc while your traffic is in paris and you're eating cross region latency until you rebuild it, worth checking the region param on Sandbox.create() before baking anything into CI. ## Similar posts on daily.dev -
