What’s new

Codespaces for data‑resident customers provides:

  • Full feature parity: Access to the complete GitHub Codespaces feature set, including all policies and configurations available in the general offering.
  • Data residency compliance: All sensitive data remains within your selected region.

Regional availability: Codespaces are available in the following data residency regions:

  • Australia
  • EU
  • US
  • Japan (coming during preview, before general availability)

Important considerations

To maintain strict data residency, enterprise or organization‑owned codespaces are required. User‑owned codespaces are not supported for GitHub Enterprise Cloud with data residency accounts. Please ensure your enterprise or organization policies are configured to set proper ownership for Codespaces usage. More information can be found in our documentation on codespace ownership.
