Cost management related to VM/GCS regions
Hi, I have a few questions related to cloud configuration in Terra.
1. Does the default bucket location changes depending on where the user is?
2. When you clone a workspace, you are bound to the original workspace's cloud location?
3. Can I stop a running VM in Terra? (pay only the disk, but not CPU and memory while the workspace exists)
4. All the consortium and reference datasets provided through Terra are stored in multi-region, a.k.a., no cost to use them?
Thanks,
- Sehyun

Thanks for the quick answer Josh. Here is a clarification/follow-up questions:
- If my VM is located in 'us-central1 (Iowa)' and input dataset (e.g., Terra-hosted datasets) for my workflow is stored in multi-regional, will there be a cost access/using theses input datasets?
- How about the opposite situation, where my VM is multi-regional and the input data is in 'us-central1 (Iowa)'?
Hi Sehyun,
Thanks for getting back to me! Please allow me to answer your questions:
Please let me know if that information was helpful or if you have any other questions.

One more question: all the consortium data on Terra (under 'Library > Datasets') are stored on the 'us-multi-region'?
Hi Sehyun,
Thanks for the reply! It does look like most of those workspaces are still using multi-region workspaces.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
Josh
