Regions

Region Endpoint
us-east-1 https://s3.wasabisys.com
us-east-2 https://s3.us-east-2.wasabisys.com
us-west-1 https://s3.us-west-1.wasabisys.com
eu-central-1 https://s3.eu-central-1.wasabisys.com
eu-west-1 https://s3.eu-west-1.wasabisys.com
ap-northeast-1 https://s3.ap-northeast-1.wasabisys.com

Wasabi has more regions than this table; the pattern is always s3.<region>.wasabisys.com, and the console shows each bucket’s region.

Good to know

  • A bucket must be addressed through its own region’s endpoint. Connecting to us-east-1 will not show a bucket created in eu-central-1.
  • Wasabi bills deleted objects for a minimum storage duration (90 days on most plans). Bulk cleanups in the app work fine, just know they do not immediately reduce the bill.
  • Wasabi’s free egress policy assumes your monthly downloads stay below your stored volume; heavy repeated downloading may get flagged on their side.
  • Versioning, lifecycle rules and policy editing in the app all work against Wasabi’s S3 implementation.
