## Multi-Region Infrastructure

Your data stays in your region. Ultralytics Platform operates infrastructure in three global regions:

| Region | Label                        | Location             | Best For                                |
| ------ | ---------------------------- | -------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| **US** | Americas                     | Iowa, USA            | Americas users, fastest for Americas    |
| **EU** | Europe, Middle East & Africa | Belgium, Europe      | European users, GDPR compliance         |
| **AP** | Asia Pacific                 | Taiwan, Asia-Pacific | Asia-Pacific users, lowest APAC latency |

You select your region during onboarding, and all your data, models, and deployments remain in that region.

!!! warning "Region is Permanent"

    Your data region cannot be changed after account creation. During onboarding, the platform measures latency to each region and recommends the closest one. Choose carefully.

## Key Features

### Data Preparation

- **Dataset Management**: Upload images, videos, or dataset files with automatic processing
- **[Annotation Editor](https://www.ultralytics.com/annotate)**: Manual annotation for all 5 YOLO task types (detect, segment, pose, OBB, classify; see [supported tasks](data/index.md#supported-tasks))
- **Skeleton Templates**: Built-in (Person, Hand, Face, Dog, Box) and custom skeleton templates for one-click pose annotation
- **Smart Annotation**: Use [SAM 2.1](../models/sam-2.md) (Tiny, Small, Base, Large), [SAM 3](../models/sam-3.md), pretrained Ultralytics YOLO models, or your own fine-tuned YOLO models from the annotation toolbar for detect, segment, and OBB tasks
- **Dataset Versioning**: Create numbered NDJSON snapshots with descriptions for reproducible training

    yolo train model=yolo26n.pt data=coco.yaml epochs=100 project=username/my-project name=exp1
    ```

=== "Remote Training (Python)"

    ```python
    import os

    from ultralytics import YOLO

    os.environ["ULTRALYTICS_API_KEY"] = "YOUR_API_KEY"

    model = YOLO("yolo26n.pt")
    model.train(
        data="coco.yaml",
        epochs=100,
        project="username/my-project",
        name="exp1",
    )
    # Metrics stream to Platform automatically
    ```

### Deployment

- **Inference Testing**: Test models directly in the browser with custom images
- **Dedicated Endpoints**: Deploy to 43 global regions with scale-to-zero by default (single active instance)
- **Monitoring**: Real-time metrics, request logs, and performance dashboards

```mermaid
graph LR
    A[Trained Model] --> B{Action}
    B --> C[Browser Predict]
    B --> D[Export Format]
    B --> E[Deploy Endpoint]
    D --> F[ONNX / TensorRT / CoreML / TFLite / ...]

### Dataset Issues

| Problem                | Solution                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Dataset won't process  | Check file format is supported (JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, HEIC, AVIF, BMP, JP2, DNG, MPO for images). Max file size: images 50 MB, videos 1 GB, dataset archives 10 GB (Free) / 20 GB (Pro) / 50 GB (Enterprise) |
| Missing annotations    | Verify labels are in [YOLO format](../datasets/detect/index.md#ultralytics-yolo-format) with `.txt` files matching image filenames, or upload COCO JSON                                                       |
| "Train split required" | Add `train/` folder to your dataset structure, or redistribute splits via the [split bar](data/datasets.md#split-redistribution)                                                                              |
| Class names undefined  | Add a `data.yaml` file with `names:` list (see [YOLO format](../datasets/detect/index.md#ultralytics-yolo-format)), or define classes in the [Classes tab](data/datasets.md#classes-tab)                      |

### Training Issues

| Problem              | Solution                                                                            |
| -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Training won't start | Check credit balance in Settings > Billing. Positive balance required               |
| Out of memory error  | Reduce batch size, use smaller model (n/s), or select GPU with more VRAM            |
| Poor metrics         | Check dataset quality, increase epochs, try data augmentation, verify class balance |
| Training slow        | Select faster GPU, reduce image size, check dataset isn't bottlenecked              |

### Deployment Issues

| Problem                 | Solution                                                                                                                    |
| ----------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Endpoint not responding | Check endpoint status (Ready vs Stopped). Cold start may take 5-15 seconds                                                  |
| 401 Unauthorized        | Verify API key is correct and has required scopes                                                                           |
| Slow inference          | Check model size, consider [TensorRT export](train/models.md#supported-formats), select closer region                       |
| Export failed           | Some formats require specific model architectures. Try [ONNX](train/models.md#supported-formats) for broadest compatibility |
