Region Property

The region the control will make requests against.

Syntax

linodecontrol.Region[=string]

Default Value

"us-east-1"

Remarks

This property control which region the control will make requests against. By default the control uses us-east-1. This property should be changed to create or access resources in other regions.

Regions:

Important: Each "region" supported by Linode's Object Storage service is actually a completely standalone storage cluster. These clusters do not interact with each other in any way, which causes the following non-standard behaviors:

• Bucket names may be reused in each region (however, they must still be "globally" unique within each region).
• The ListBuckets method will only return buckets located in the currently-selected region; there is no way to retrieve a list of all regions' buckets.
• Similarly, the BucketExists and GetBucketLocation methods only consider buckets located in the currently-selected region.
• The CopyObject method cannot be used to copy objects to a bucket in another region.

The control will always convert this property's value to lowercase. If this property is cleared, the control will reset it to the default value.
