Is it possible to define the region where a prompt of Gemini will be run ?
We're using the generative ai API, and would like to set it to run in Europe .
Hi @micaelbatista,
Welcome to Google Cloud Community!
Yes, you can run the Gemini API in Europe, but there are some considerations. Google has made the Gemini API available in the EU, UK, and Switzerland, but due to privacy regulations, it may not be accessible in all regions. If you need more control over where your prompts are processed, you might want to use Vertex AI, which allows access to Gemini models while offering more flexibility in deployment. Please refer to this document for more information.
However, keep in mind that prompts might be processed at any Google Cloud data center, and some Gemini services operate globally without allowing users to select a specific region. If you need a strict regional setting, Vertex AI could be a better option for ensuring compliance with European data regulations.
