OpenStack is capable of running in a multi-region configuration. This enables some parts of OpenStack to effectively manage a group of sites as a single cloud.

Some use cases that might indicate a need for a multi-site deployment of OpenStack include:

  • An organization with a diverse geographic footprint.
  • Geo-location sensitive data.
  • Data locality, in which specific data or functionality should be close to users.
