As I\u2019ve done here\u2026<\/p>\n It\u2019s that easy and now you have an account in Europe!\u00a0 You can also choose your region using the VS Online account creation flows in the Azure portal or the Azure preview portal.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s dig into some of the nitty gritty questions that you are likely to want to ask\u2026<\/p>\n An entire account is bound to a region \u2013 you can\u2019t have some data in one region and other data in another.\u00a0 If you want projects in different regions, for now, you have to have them in separate accounts.\u00a0 This is something we may change in the future.<\/p>\n You can go to the account settings to verify which region your account is in.<\/p>\n There is currently no way to move an existing account from one region to another.\u00a0 Enabling this is the next thing on our list but is likely to take a few months.\u00a0 We do have a way to do it manually in an absolute emergency and you can contact support if you are in dire need but because it\u2019s a manual process today, we can\u2019t move very many.\u00a0 We will ask most people to wait just a bit longer.<\/p>\n Although we have our first instance in a non-US, non-English speaking region, we do not yet support a localized experience for VS Online.\u00a0 You can enter data in any language you wish but the UI for VS Online is currently English only.\u00a0 This is something we expect to begin addressing sometime next year.<\/p>\n When you locate an account in a region, all of the \u201caccount data\u201d is limited to that region and does not leave.\u00a0 There is some data that is not limited to the region, our directory of accounts, user directory information and some diagnostic and operational data are examples of things that are \u201cglobal data\u201d and not restricted only to the selected region.\u00a0 However, your source, work items, builds, etc all will only exist in the selected region.<\/p>\n As of right now, the services available in the West European region include \u2013 Source code control (both TFVC and Git), Work item tracking\/project management, Team Rooms, Build automation, Test case management and load testing.\u00a0 Application Insights (which is still in preview) is not yet available in Europe but will in the timeframe that we reach GA.\u00a0 Selecting the location for your VSOnline account automatically selects that region for all of the services that are available in that region.\u00a0 So, for instance, creating an account in West Europe will automatically cause you to also use the build service in West Europe.\u00a0 There is currently no way to choose regions on a service by service basis.<\/p>\n We plan to add additional regions around the world.\u00a0 I don\u2019t have a clear roadmap for that and it will depend entirely on demand.\u00a0 We had quite a lot of demand for a European instance and all other requests were distant seconds.\u00a0 If you really would like to see an instance in another region, please let us know.\u00a0 Also feel free to use http:\/\/visualstudio.uservoice.com<\/a> to create a suggestion and let people vote on it.\u00a0 If there is sufficient demand, we can now create new instances within weeks.<\/p>\n Brian<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today we opened up our shiny, new VS Online instance in the Azure \u201cWest Europe\u201d region, which is
