SendOps supports a specific set of AWS regions where Amazon SES is available. You select a region during the [AWS Integration](/aws-setup/connecting-aws) step of onboarding, and your CloudFormation stack, IAM role, and SES resources all operate in that region.

## Region selection during onboarding

During the [AWS Integration](/aws-setup/connecting-aws) phase of onboarding, you choose a region from a searchable dropdown. The CloudFormation stack is deployed into this region, and it provisions the IAM role, EventBridge rule, and SES configuration set there. Your account is connected to a single region.

## Choosing a region

If you are starting fresh and unsure which region to use, consider:

- **Latency** — pick the region closest to your application servers to minimize API call latency when sending.
- **Data residency** — some organizations require email data to remain in a specific geography. SES processes and stores data in the region you select.
- **SES sandbox status** — each region has its own sandbox. Moving to production access in one region does not affect others. See [SES Sandbox & Production](/sending-email/ses-sandbox) for details.


  AWS may add SES support to new regions over time. Check the [AWS SES Regional Availability](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/ses.html) documentation for the most current list. If a new region is available in AWS but not listed here, contact [support@sendops.dev](mailto:support@sendops.dev) — adding support is typically fast.
