Azure US Government cloud support for Microsoft Planetary Computer Pro

Microsoft Planetary Computer Pro is available in both Azure Public cloud and Azure US Government cloud environments. This article provides a comprehensive reference for the endpoint and configuration differences between these two cloud environments, organized by the documentation articles they affect.

When deploying or developing applications for Microsoft Planetary Computer Pro in Azure US Government, you need to update various endpoints, authentication URLs, and API scopes to use the US Government cloud equivalents.

Note

The Open Planetary Computer public data catalog (planetarycomputer.microsoft.com) works identically in both Azure Public and Azure US Government cloud environments. No changes are required when accessing Open Planetary Computer data from either environment.

Supported regions

Microsoft Planetary Computer Pro is currently available in the following US Government Cloud Regions:

  • US Gov Virginia
