I’m checking whether Cloudflare offers R2 object storage infrastructure in Iceland.
Here’s what I found:
The R2 product overview:

Cloudflare’s data center network:

Blog on Reykjavík data center:

I’m exploring R2 for backups and need to know if it’s available in Iceland with low upload/download latency.
Could you point me to the right team or documentation?
Thank you,
Hjalti
Svar frá Cloudflare
Hi Hjalti,
thank you for reaching out, and you’ve come to the right place.
Cloudflare does indeed operate a data center in Reykjavík, Iceland (as you saw in our blog and network map). This data center is part of our global network, and it handles requests for services like CDN, security, and caching.
However, for R2 Object Storage, the data is not tied to a specific Cloudflare POP. Instead, R2 is designed as a distributed object storage service. Your data is stored with redundancy across Cloudflare’s network, and access performance (upload/download) benefits from our Anycast routing — meaning requests from Iceland will automatically connect to the nearest Cloudflare location (Reykjavík), ensuring low-latency access.
If your requirement is strict data residency in Iceland, please note that R2 currently does not provide per-country storage pinning. With Enterprise and the Data Localization Suite, we can enforce regional storage boundaries (e.g. EU-only processing), but not a single-country guarantee.
For most backup use cases, you can expect excellent performance from Iceland given our local presence, but compliance-sensitive workloads might require an Enterprise plan with regional controls.
Would you like me to connect you with my Account Team to discuss your backup requirements and, if needed, options for regional storage under Enterprise?
Eins og ég skil hlutina
Technical Parturinn:1) File-ar eru ekki endilega staðsettir physically í gagnaveri á Íslandi
2) R2 Object storage dreifir gögnum þínum á margar staðsetningar um allan heim til að tryggja afritun og aðgengileika.
3) Þar sem það er gagnaver frá Cloudflare í Reykjavík þá mun samband við gögn vera mjög hraðvirkt og með lágt latency
4) Ef manni vantar hratt og öruggt backup storage þá ætti R2 að virka
5) Ef þú þarft sérstaklega að tryggja að gögnin þín séu innan EU (vegna lagalegra ástæðna), þá myndi það krefjast Enterprise plan með regional control yfir gögnum.
