This page lists the regions and zones where Pub/Sub Lite is available.

- A regional Lite topic requires you to only specify a region. For example,
  `asia-east1(Taiwan)` for the **Region** field in the Cloud console.
  Regional Lite topics are only supported in Apache Beam version 2.34.0
  and higher.

- A zonal Lite topic requires you to specify a region and a zone within the
  region. For example, `asia-east1(Taiwan)` for **Region** and
  `asia-east1-a` for **Zone** fields in the Cloud console.

To reduce the end-to-end latency of a Pub/Sub Lite system, store
messages in a zone close to where the [publisher](https://docs.cloud.google.com/pubsub/lite/docs/publishing.md.txt)
and [subscriber](https://docs.cloud.google.com/pubsub/lite/docs/subscribing.md.txt) applications run.

For more information, see [Geography and regions](https://docs.cloud.google.com/docs/geography-and-regions.md.txt).
