KV – Workers KV namespace jurisdictions are now generally available

1 minutePosted inCloudflare

Jurisdictions for Workers KV namespaces are now generally available. When you create a namespace, you can set a jurisdiction to make sure the namespace’s data is only durably stored within that region. Jurisdictions can help you comply with data localization regulations such as GDPR or FedRAMP. Supported jurisdictions are eu, us, and fedramp.

A jurisdiction can only be set when a namespace is created, using the Cloudflare dashboard, Wrangler, the cf CLI, or the REST API, and cannot be added or changed afterwards.

npx wrangler@latest kv namespace create <NAMESPACE_NAME> --jurisdiction=eu
cf kv namespaces create --title <NAMESPACE_NAME> --jurisdiction eu
curl "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/$ACCOUNT_ID/storage/kv/namespaces" \
  --request POST \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
    "title": "<NAMESPACE_NAME>",
    "jurisdiction": "eu"
  }'

Workers can still access a namespace restricted to a jurisdiction from anywhere in the world, and KV data can be cached outside the jurisdiction on Cloudflare’s network. The jurisdiction only controls where the namespace’s data is durably stored.
