Secrets can only be accessed from\nwithin that specific region. To access the regional service, you'll require\na regional endpoint associated with the data residency zone.\n\nThe following table explains the key differences between the global and\nregional service.\n\nNot all organizations are subject to stringent DRZ regulations on where data is\nstored or accessed, and not all data might fall into the sensitive category to\nbe subject to the DRZ regulations. So depending upon the sensitivity of the data\nbeing handled, you can choose either between the regional or global service.\n\nIf your organization must adhere to specific data residency regulations, choose\nthe regional service as it ensures that your secret data doesn't leave the designated\nregion. If your application requires high availability and the ability to access\nsecrets from anywhere, the global service might be more suitable due to its\nmulti-region replication.\n\nTo learn more about the regional service, refer to the\n[regional service documentation](/secret-manager/regional-secrets/overview-rs).\n\nWhat's next\n-----------\n\n- [Enable the Secret Manager API](/secret-manager/docs/configuring-secret-manager)\n- [Create and access a secret](/secret-manager/docs/create-secret-quickstart)"]]
