Changelog

You can now create Cloudflare Queues with jurisdictional restrictions, ensuring that messages published to a queue are stored and processed only within a specific jurisdiction. This helps you comply with data residency requirements such as the GDPR ↗︎ or FedRAMP ↗︎.

To create a jurisdiction-restricted queue with the Cloudflare CLI (cf), use the --jurisdiction flag:

cf queues create --queue-name my-eu-queue --jurisdiction eu

You can also pass a jurisdiction parameter when calling the Create Queue endpoint:

curl https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/$ACCOUNT_ID/queues \
  --request POST \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
    "queue_name": "my-eu-queue",
    "jurisdiction": "eu"
  }'

Supported jurisdictions are eu (European Union), us (United States), and fedramp (FedRAMP-Moderate data centers). Jurisdiction can only be set when a queue is created and cannot be changed afterwards.

For more information, refer to Queues data location.
