Configure data locality by using regional endpoints

This page describes the global and regional service endpoints for the Secure Source Manager control plane.

A service endpoint is a base URL that specifies the network address of an API service. The Secure Source Manager control plane has both global and regional endpoints.

  • Global endpoint: By default, Secure Source Manager sends API requests to the global endpoint, securesourcemanager.googleapis.com. Global endpoints don't guarantee that in-transit data remains in a particular location and can retrieve Secure Source Manager data from any supported region. Your data might be processed outside the region where it is stored.

  • Regional endpoint: A service endpoint that enforces regional restrictions, ensuring that in-transit data remains in a particular location. A regional endpoint only allows requests to proceed if the affected resource exists in the location specified by the endpoint. Regional endpoints use the following format:

    securesourcemanager.LOCATION.rep.googleapis.com.

    For a list of supported regions, see Locations.

Consider using regional endpoints in the following situations:
