Databricks Designated Services

This article describes Databricks Designated Services, which are features in Databricks that use Databricks Geos to manage data residency when processing customer content.

important

If a Designated Service is available in your workspace's Geo, then your content is processed in that Geo. Some Designated Services are not natively available in all Geos, and admins might need to enable cross-Geo processing before these Designated Services can be used. If you enable cross-Geo processing on your workspace, the Designated Service can process your content in other Geos. Importantly, your data is not stored outside of your workspace's Geo regardless of this setting.

Availability of Designated Services in each Geo

The following table describes the availability of Designated Services in each Geo:

* This feature is only available when you enable cross-Geo processing on your workspace. Where multiple models are available for a particular feature, some models might only be available if cross-Geo processing has been enabled. See Supported foundation models on Model Serving for model-specific region availability.

‡ Traffic is processed within the same country or territory as the workspace region for Brazil, Canada, Japan, Korea, Singapore, and United Kingdom when you disable cross-Geo processing. For other countries in the Asia Geo, this feature is supported by models in Asia Geo if cross-Geo processing is disabled.

§ Traffic is processed within the same country as the workspace region for Japan and Korea when you disable cross-Geo processing. Indonesia traffic is processed in Asia Geo. For other countries in the Asia Geo, including Singapore and Hong Kong, this feature requires cross-Geo processing.

For AI assistive features, when cross-geo processing is enabled, workspaces in the Americas use a US-based model, and workspaces in Europe use a Europe-based model.
