Geographical Availability¶
This section outlines the geographical availability, including the regions where these features are supported and the routing of service requests. Alation Data Quality depends directly on AWS Timestream availability. Alation Data Quality is currently not available in Canada (Montreal), Asia Pacific (Singapore and Mumbai) because of lack of availability of AWS timestream service in those regions.
Alation’s AI features are designed to be globally accessible, but the following considerations apply:
Compliance & Data Sovereignty: Global regions support local regulations and privacy laws.
Performance & Reliability: Reduced latency for real-time data quality monitoring.
Scalability & Resilience: Multi-region deployments support disaster recovery and geo redundancy.
Trust & Governance: By deploying Alation Data Quality in supported regions, customers benefit from end-to-end data lineage and agentic quality checks.
Alation’s AI capabilities, powered by Amazon Bedrock, are not universally accessible across all Alation-supported regions.
To broaden access, Alation employs cross-regional traffic routing to available regions. Service requests are initiated from the Alation Cloud Service VPCs to Amazon’s region-specific infrastructure, with TLS 1.2 encryption ensuring data protection via AWS’s private network. For details on regional availability, refer to Amazon Bedrock endpoints and quotas in AWS documentation.
The following table specifies the supported regions for Alation’s AI features and their corresponding target region routing:
