Gitpod Flex
New AWS Runner Regions: Host in Canada and Ohio
We’re excited to announce that Gitpod Flex now supports deploying AWS runners in two additional regions:
- Canada (
ca-central-1
) - US East, Ohio (
us-east-2
)
This gives teams more flexibility in choosing where to host their development environments, helping meet data residency requirements and reduce latency for developers in these regions.
Setting up runners in these new regions follows the same straightforward process as our other supported regions. Learn how to set up an AWS runner in our documentation.
