# Can I select a specific Region?

**Q: *****Can I manually select the Region (Vietnam or Japan) for Serverless Inference?***

**A:** Currently, the Serverless Inference package does not support manual selection of the processing Region.

To optimize cost and performance for general users, our system is designed to automatically distribute API requests flexibly between the Vietnam and Japan regions.

Please refer to the table below to understand the routing mechanism and choose the service that fits your needs:

|    **Criteria**   | **Serverless Inference**                                                                                                                  | **Dedicated Inference**                                                                                                 |

|   Recommendation  | For customers needing convenience and flexible costs, who accept short-term offshore data processing.                                     | For Government and Banking sectors requiring strict compliance with Data Sovereignty laws.                              |

If your project has specific requirements for a fixed processing region (e.g., strictly running in Vietnam for data residency compliance), please switch to the **Dedicated Inference** service.
