A region is a specific\ngeographical location where you can run your resources. Each region is\nsubdivided into several zones. For example, the `us-central1` region in the\ncentral United States has zones `us-central1-a`, `us-central1-b`,\n`us-central1-c`, and `us-central1-f`. For more information, see\n[Geography and regions](/docs/geography-and-regions).\n\nSome Google Cloud APIs, including the Parallelstore API,\nuse the concept of locations, which can represent either\n[regions or zones](/storage/docs/locations#key-concepts).\nFor Parallelstore instances, locations map to zones.\n\nTo decrease network latency, we recommend creating a Parallelstore\ninstance in a region and zone that is close to where you plan to use it. For\nexample, if you plan to access the instance from Asia, then you should create it\nin one of the `asia-east1` zones. Similarly, you get the best performance by\nmounting Parallelstore instances on clients in the same region.\n\nSupported regions and zones\n---------------------------\n\nParallelstore is available in the following regions and zones."]]
