Following a successful migration of our [backend infrastructure](https://telnyx.com/release-notes/cloud-storage-backend-migration "Telnyx Cloud Storage Infrastructure Migration"), Telnyx is adding 2 new regional endpoints to our Cloud Storage product, increasing geographical diversity. 

Increasing our regional endpoints across the United States ensures a distributed infrastructure for [Telnyx Cloud Storage](https://telnyx.com/products/cloud-storage "Telnyx Cloud Storage"). This allows Telnyx cloud storage users to optimize their file storage system to achieve low-latency object retrieval for specific geographic areas. 

__Where will Telnyx users be able to direct services to?__

Telnyx Cloud Storage users are now able to store their files in 2 new regions—__us-east-1.telnyxstorage.com__ and __us-west-1.telnyxstorage.com__—as well as our existing region __us-central-1.telnyxstorage.com__. 

__How do I choose a storage region? __

Telnyx users can easily choose to store files in any of the three storage regions through the Mission Control Portal or [via API](https://developers.telnyx.com/api/cloud-storage "Region API Tutorial Telnyx Cloud Storage"). 

In the portal, users can select the region from the dropdown on bucket creation.

Telnyx adds new regional endpoints to Cloud Storage product

On Monday October 23rd, 2023 Telnyx will be migrating all of our existing [Cloud Storage](https://telnyx.com/products/cloud-storage "Telnyx Cloud Storage") services to new backend infrastructure. 

*Note during the migration window the API is read only. During this window only HTTP GET request methods will work. *

__Why are we making this change? __

In order to build a more stable and scalable Cloud Storage API offering, we have re-architected our storage backend over the past 3 months. As a result, our legacy infrastructure supporting the product will be deprecated. 

After this migration, Telnyx Cloud Storage users can expect closer compatibility with and wider coverage of AWS S3, and a better data throughput by orders of magnitude.  

__What changes are happening? __

__Bucket data__

The following data will be recreated in our new architecture:
1. Bucket
2. BucketTagging
3. BucketPolicy

__Multipart data__

Please note that unfinished multipart uploads will not be migrated. 

__Object data__

The following data will be created in our new architecture:
1. Object
2. Object Metadata
3. ObjectTagging

__What actions do I need to take?__

We recommend the following:
1. Complete all incomplete multipart uploads. 
2. Subscribe to [https://status.telnyx.com](https://status.telnyx.com "https://status.telnyx.com") for updates.  

__When will the migration take place?__

The planned migration window starts on __October 23rd, 2023, 0700 UTC and ends at 1200 UTC__ on the same day.

Prior to the migration period, we will create a scheduled maintenance event on [https://status.telnyx.com](https://status.telnyx.com "https://status.telnyx.com"). 

At the start of the migration period, we will set the said event to be In Progress. After the migration is completed, we set the event to Completed, notifying users that services are back online. 

__Are there new developer docs that I need to follow?__

Yes. New official developer docs will be updated post migration. In the meantime you can take a [look at this preview](https://preview.redoc.ly/telnyx/FILE-557-Storage-Docs-Update/docs/v2/cloud_storage/intro/ "Cloud Storage Developer Docs"). 

If you have any questions, please contact our support team through the portal.

In order to build a more stable and scalable [Cloud Storage API](https://telnyx.com/products/cloud-storage "Telnyx Cloud Storage") offering, we’re making changes to the API endpoint for Cloud Storage. 

If you are a Telnyx Cloud Storage users that has storage buckets associated with your Mission Control Portal account, you’ll need to make some changes to ensure a smooth migration. 

__What change are we making? __

The S3 XML API currently serviced by the __storage.telnyx.com__ endpoint will be migrated to a regional endpoint, __us-central-1.telnyxstorage.com__. 

__Why are we making this change?__

The current endpoint, __storage.telnyx.com__, is the only API endpoint for S3 XML API. 

We are expanding our geographic diversity beginning with the introduction of the new regional endpoint __us-central-1.telnyxstorage.com__. This is consistent with how similar products are consumed today, with more regional endpoints planned for the coming months. 

__What to expect__

From October 16, 2023, all new buckets and objects need to be created via the new regional endpoint. Buckets and objects created through __storage.telnyx.com__ prior to this date can be accessed via the new regional endpoint.

From October 16, 2023, __ListBuckets__ & __GetBucketLocation__ are the only APIs that the __storage.telnyx.com__ endpoint will accept. 

__What action do I need to take?__

We recommend undertaking the following generic workflow:

- Use ListBuckets to obtain all buckets.
- Use GetBucketLocation to obtain the location of the bucket.
- Form the correct regional endpoint, __region_of_bucket.telnyxstorage.com__ for API operations.  

If you have any questions, please contact our support team through [the portal](https://portal.telnyx.com "Mission Control Portal").

If you’re located in the northern, eastern, or southern region of Arkansas, a new area code overlay was recently implemented near you. Here’s what you need to know:

## What is an area code overlay?

An area code overlay is the addition of another area code (327) to the same geographic region as existing area codes. An overlay does not require telephone users to change their existing area code or phone number (870). It also does not change the way you dial calls. You’ll still use 10-digit dialing; dial the area code and phone number for all local calls, just as you do now.

## Who is affected?

Beginning **January 19, 2024**, customers in the 870 area code overlay region may be assigned a number in the new 327 area code when they request new service or an additional line.  Customers receiving a 327 area code will be required to dial the area code and phone number for all local calls, just as customers with telephone numbers from the 870 area code do today.

## What do you need to do?

Customers in the overlay region should:

* Continue to dial 1 + area code + phone number for all local calls
* Continue to identify and store phone numbers as 10-digit numbers (always include the area code, even if the number is local)
* Update your equipment if needed to ensure it recognizes the new 327 area code and is programmed for 10-digit dialing (for example: fax machines, medical alert devices, alarm systems, voicemail, and call forwarding settings)
* Ensure that all personal and business items include your area code (for example: pet ID tags, business cards, and advertising material)

## What remains the same?

The following will remain the same for customers nationwide:

* Your current telephone number
* The price of a call, coverage area or other rates
* What is considered a local call
* The way you dial a phone number (you will still use 10-digit dialing for local calls, and 1+10 digits for long distance)
* Dialing existing 3-digit numbers such as 911, 211, 311, and so on

## If you have questions…

If you’re located in the northern region of Ohio, a new area code overlay was recently implemented near you. Here’s what you need to know:

## What is an area code overlay?

An area code overlay is the addition of another area code (436) to the same geographic region as existing area codes.

## What do you need to do?

Customers in the overlay region should:
* Continue to dial 1 + area code + phone number for all local calls
* Continue to identify and store phone numbers as 10-digit numbers (always include the area code, even if the number is local)
* Update your equipment if needed to ensure it recognizes the new 436 area code and is programmed for 10-digit dialing (for example: fax machines, medical alert devices, alarm systems, voicemail, and call forwarding settings)
* Ensure that all personal and business items include your area code (for example: pet ID tags, business cards, and advertising material)
