How do I change my AWS region after upgrading to the Standard Plan

Support

Recently upgraded from Free to Standard, we are on us-west-2 for all other services within AWS, I prefer to change that for Pinecone as well, I don’t see an option to do this in the Management dashboard.

Hi @kavita1,

Thanks for the question. Region isn’t a global setting in Pinecone. Rather, it’s per index. When you create an index, you choose the region where it should get deployed.

Here’s a list of regions you can choose from: Understanding indexes - Pinecone Docs

Hope that helps. Please let me know.

Best,
Jesse

@jesse thanks our indexes are already in production and being used, any chance of migrating them to the right region?

Hi @kavita1. Unfortunately, migration across regions isn’t possible at the moment, but it’s something we are hoping to implement in the future. In the meantime, you’ll need to create a new index and re-upsert the data.

Best,
Jesse
