# Cortex XSOAR and AWS Cloud

Cortex XSOAR currently utilizes Amazon Web Services (AWS) for the hosted service. Each customer has a dedicated instance on which workloads run on dedicated resources (compute, storage, network) according to advanced security standards (SOC2, ISO 27001).

You can designate a Cortex XSOAR region for the storage and processing of your data. Available AWS regions are: AWS-California, AWS-Oregon, AWS-Virginia, AWS-Ohio, AWS-Frankfurt, AWS-London, AWS-Sydney, AWS-Mumbai, AWS-Singapore, AWS-Tokyo, and AWS-Canada. Additional regions may be added in the future. If you require a region not listed above, please contact Palo Alto Networks Support.

Note that Palo Alto Networks reserves the right to host Cortex XSOAR in other cloud environments and will update this document if other cloud environments are used for Cortex XSOAR hosting.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xsoar-6.12-hosted-service-guide/hosted-service/cortex-xsoar-and-aws-cloud.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
