We have expanded our regional support for Azure Blockchain Workbench for our customers across the globe, so you now have even more options when selecting where you want to deploy your Workbench project. With version 1.8.0, you will see additional regional deployment options of North Europe, West US 2, and Japan East. Now, when deploying Azure Blockchain Workbench, you can select from a total of six regions. For customers who would like to deploy a new Azure Blockchain Service member from directly in the Azure Blockchain Workbench deployment experience, the member will also sit in the selected region.
You can deploy a new instance of Workbench through the Azure Portal or upgrade your existing deployments to 1.8.0 using our upgrade script.
