# Storage region vs Instance region - few choices

## post by addavox on Jul 6, 2023

I am trying to setup my first instance but…

- The only region available for cloud/persistent storage is Texas
- Of the only 2 instances currently available neither is available in Texas

We are currently using these GPUs to train our models.

Is this what I should expect:

- Very few instance types available at any moment and likely not the instance type that I want?
- Not being able to launch an instance that can connect to my storage?

Also, I requested an instance:

How long does it take for the instance to be available?

Even when available I am concerned that it will be in the wrong region.

Thanks,

John
