Choosing your server region

SonarQube Cloud offers accounts in the EU and US server regions. This page outlines the specific prerequisites, limitations, and setup details relevant for choosing your region.

This feature requires the SonarQube Cloud Enterprise plan.

SonarQube Cloud is available in two regions: EU and US. Your choice of region determines where your data is stored and cannot be changed after sign-up. Use the comparison table below to choose the region that's right for you.

	EU region	US region
Sign-in URL	sonarcloud.io	sonarqube.us
Data location	European Union	United States
Scanner version requirements	None	Minimum versions required (see Prerequisites)
Slack integration	Supported	Not supported

Access to sonarqube.us is provided upon request for Enterprise customers. When you request an enterprise setup within the US region, Sonar authorizes your users to access the US instance. As an end user, if you think you should have access, contact your SonarQube Cloud administrator.

Limitations

Access to the US region requires a SonarQube Cloud Enterprise plan and must be specifically requested from your sales representative.

You currently cannot share or move data between the SonarQube Cloud EU and US instances.

The Slack integration is currently not supported in the SonarQube Cloud US instance.

Prerequisites

All SonarScanners work with the EU region without any version restrictions. To analyze projects in the US region, you must use at least the following scanner version:

• SonarScanner for Maven: 5.1
• SonarScanner for Gradle: 6.1
• SonarScanner for .NET: 10.2
• SonarScanner for NPM: 4.3
• SonarScanner CLI: 7.1
• SonarScanner CLI Docker image: 11.3
• Github Actions: 5.1.0
• Bitbucket Pipelines: 4.1
• Azure DevOps Extension: 3.2

If you use CircleCI with our Orb in the US region, use at least Orb version 3.0.

Configuring your scanner or extension for your region

If you use the Azure DevOps extension, select your region when Adding SonarQube service connection to Azure Pipelines (SonarQube endpoint).

For all other scanners, the sonar.region analysis parameter determines in which server region a project is hosted. This parameter defaults to the EU server region. For more information about this parameter, see Server connection. For general guidelines to set your analysis parameters, see Configuration overview.

Connecting SonarQube for IDE to your region

SonarQube for IDE is a free IDE extension that integrates with SonarQube Cloud using connected mode.

The connected mode setup is different depending on whether you use the EU or US region. For more information, see:

• VS Code: SONARQUBE CLOUD US REGION · SONARQUBE CLOUD
• IntelliJ: SONARQUBE CLOUD US REGION · SONARQUBE CLOUD
• Visual Studio: SONARQUBE CLOUD US REGION · SONARQUBE CLOUD
• Eclipse: SONARQUBE CLOUD US REGION · SONARQUBE CLOUD

Connecting your MCP server to your region

You can connect your local MCP server to either region. No additional configuration is needed for the EU region. For the US region, set SONARQUBE_URL=https://sonarqube.us in your configuration file. For more information, see MCP Server's Environment considerations page.

The SonarQube Cloud-hosted MCP server is also available for either region; see the MCP Server's SonarQube Cloud-hosted page for setup details.
