Secret Manager locations

Secret Manager resources can be created in one of many locations. For more information about locations within Google Cloud, see Geography and regions.

Secret Manager does not support zones, dual-regional locations, or multi-regional locations.

How locations work in Secret Manager

Secrets and secret versions can be accessed globally across Google Cloud. A secret's replication policy determines where the secret and its versions are stored in Google Cloud.

Secrets that use the automatic replication policy are replicated without restriction. Automatic replication is recommended for most users.

If you need more control over the locations where a secret is stored, you can choose the user-managed replication policy. With user-managed replication, you select one or more geographic locations where the secret will be replicated. For specific instructions, see Creating secrets.

For more information about availability of Secret Manager resources, refer to the service-level agreement SLA.

Regional endpoints for Secret Manager

If your data is subject to data residency zone (DRZ) regulations or other compliance requirements, create and store your Secret Manager resources in a Google Cloud location that supports regional endpoints. Regional endpoints are request endpoints that only allow requests to proceed if the affected resource exists in the location specified by the endpoint. For example, when you use the endpoint https://secretmanager.me-central2.rep.googleapis.com in a delete secret request, the request only proceeds if the secret is located in ME-CENTRAL2. Regional endpoints ensure that your data at rest and in transit remains in a specific Google Cloud location. To enforce the use of regional endpoints, you can set an organization policy. Learn more in Restricting endpoint usage. For information about creating regional secrets, see Create regional secrets.

Parameter Manager is an extension to the Secret Manager service that lets you create, store, and manage your application parameters. You can create Parameter Manager resources in a global location, or in a specific data location with the help of a regional endpoint.

The following table lists the regions or specific geographical locations where you can access the Secret Manager global service. Additionally, it identifies the locations where the regionalized Secret Manager and Parameter Manager services are available.
