# Regional availability

Firezone runs in Microsoft Azure. The data plane (Relays) is deployed widely for low-latency connectivity, while the admin portal and control plane run in a smaller, fixed set of regions.

## Data plane

Relays are deployed globally to ensure low-latency fallback paths for cases where direct peer-to-peer connections aren't possible. Relays are deployed in the following Azure regions:

| City           | Region                   |
