[**Zilliz Cloud**](https://zilliz.com/cloud) **is now available in AWS eu-west-1 (Ireland)**, expanding our European footprint and giving teams across Western Europe, the UK, and Ireland a local region for production vector search workloads.

Ireland is one of the most widely adopted AWS regions in the world — and for good reason. It's the European base for many of the largest global technology companies, a natural pairing for teams already running multi-region architectures alongside us-east-1, and a well-established jurisdiction for GDPR-compliant data processing. If you're already on AWS in eu-west-1, Zilliz Cloud now plugs directly into your existing infrastructure.

With this launch, European customers get:

-   **Lower-latency vector search for production AI workloads.** Teams previously routing to eu-central-1 (Frankfurt) or US regions now have a closer option for workloads serving Western Europe, the UK, and Ireland.
    
-   **EU data residency where you need it.** Between eu-west-1 (Ireland) and eu-central-1 (Frankfurt) on AWS — plus European regions on GCP and Azure — you can keep vector data within EU borders and choose the jurisdiction that fits your compliance requirements.
    
-   **One-step migration from wherever you are today.** Moving from Pinecone, Qdrant, Weaviate, Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL, OpenSearch, or self-hosted Milvus? Our [migration service](https://docs.zilliz.com/docs/migrations) handles the heavy lifting, so switching to an EU-hosted deployment doesn't mean rebuilding your pipeline.
    

## 30 Regions, Five Cloud Providers

With Ireland live, Zilliz Cloud is now available in **30 regions** across major clouds worldwide, including AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. That's broader multi-cloud coverage than any other managed vector database on the market.

A few highlights across the major providers:

| --- | --- | --- |
| us-east-1 (N. Virginia) | us-west1 (Oregon) | East US (Virginia) |
| us-east-2 (Ohio) | us-east4 (Virginia) | East US 2 (Virginia) |
| us-west-2 (Oregon) | us-central1 (Iowa) | Central US (Iowa) |
| ca-central-1 (Canada) | europe-west3 (Frankfurt) | Germany West Central (Frankfurt) |
| eu-central-1 (Frankfurt) | asia-southeast1 (Singapore) | Central India (Pune) |

## Build Without Limits: Zilliz Cloud Key Features at a Glance

Vector databases are now the backbone of modern AI—from powering recommendation engines and chatbots to enabling semantic search and image recognition. [Zilliz Cloud](https://zilliz.com/cloud) is a fully managed vector database and data service built on [Milvus](https://milvus.io/), the most popular vector database with 42K+ GitHub stars, empowering you to unlock the full potential of unstructured data in your AI applications.

-   **Elastic scaling & cost efficiency** – One-click deployment, serverless autoscaling, and pay-as-you-go pricing.
    
-   **Compliance and security.** SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR compliance, HIPAA readiness, RBAC, [BYOC](https://zilliz.com/blog/zilliz-cloud-byoc-now-available-across-aws-gcp-and-azure) deployment, and audit logs. Details at our [trust center](https://zilliz.com/trust-center).
    
-   **Autoscaling.** You don't need to guess at capacity. Clusters scale with your workload, which matters especially if you're running variable traffic patterns across European time zones.
    
-   **Full AI search flexibility.** Vector, full-text, and hybrid search with metadata filtering, dynamic schema, and multi-tenancy — so you're not stitching together multiple systems.
    
-   **MCP server support.** Query your vector data using [natural language](https://zilliz.com/blog/introducing-zilliz-mcp-server) — useful for teams building AI agents and tool-use workflows.
    
-   **One-step migration** from Pinecone, Qdrant, Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL, OpenSearch, Weaviate, or self-hosted Milvus through our [migration service](https://zilliz.com/zilliz-migration-service).
    

Taken together, these features make Zilliz Cloud more than just a vector database. It’s a production-ready platform that enables enterprises to build and scale AI applications without limitations.
