# Cloud Datacenter Locations
This dataset tracks the locations of datacenters operated by large cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) with each cloud provider having their own json file.
It based on my research collected from publicly available information.
## Accuracy of locations
The granularity of each entry's location is recorded explicitly (see `geoPrecision` below).
Cloud providers will provide **region** or **zone** as options while procuring their services, these refer to a geographic area where they operate 1 or more actual physical datacenters.
## Coordinates
Coordinates are primarily determined by geocoding the `location` string via [OpenStreetMap Nominatim](https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/), which gives the center of the `country`, `state`, `city`, or `district`.
When the actual datacenters can be found on a map, their coordinates are used and `geoPrecision` is set to `datacenter`.
Coordinates are stored in the array `geoLatLong` as one or more `[latitude, longitude]` pairs, with each coordinate rounded to 3 decimals.
Note, there may be various datacenters spread geographically which all operate under the same provider code.
The listed locations are publicly attributed to the provider.
When only one datacenter is found, we assume it is solely responsible for that region or zone.
## Data model
| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `code` | The provider's official reference code |
| `country` | ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (ADM0) |
| `geoLatLong` | Array of `[latitude, longitude]` pairs (rounded to 3 decimals) |
| `geoPrecision` | `country`, `state`, `city`, `district` (coordinates derived from `location`) <br> `datacenter` (coordinates derived from map) |
| `location` | Location of the datacenter, from the provider's page or other public sources |
| `provider` | `aws` \| `azure` \| `gcp` |
| `providerScope` | `region` or `zone` (refer to provider specific documentation) |
| `source` | Full URL of the official page this entry was sourced from |
| `sourceChecked` | Date the source URL was verified (e.g. `2026-09-01`) |
### Additional fields
| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `zoneCount` | **AWS only.** Number of Availability Zones (AZs) in the region. |
| `zones` | **GCP only.** Named zone codes (e.g. `us-central1-a`). |
