Regional availability and outbound IP addresses

Edit online

IBM watsonx Orchestrate is a cloud-native, multi-tenant platform designed to automate tasks and simplify complex business processes. It is available as a managed Software as a Service (SaaS) offering and also supports on-premises deployments.

This section outlines the regions where the service is available and provides outbound IP address details to help you configure secure network access.

Regional availability of IBM watsonx Orchestrate

IBM watsonx Orchestrate SaaS is deployed across multiple global regions to support data residency, performance, and compliance needs.

  • Singapore (ap-southeast-1)

On IBM Cloud:

  • Paris (eu-fr2)

For feature availability differences across deployments, see Feature parity for IBM watsonx Orchestrate.

Note: With the introduction of the new agentic experience, prebuilt skills are no longer provisioned by default for existing tenants in the following data centers: London, Toronto, Tokyo and Sydney (IBM Cloud), and Singapore (AWS). If your tenant is in one of these regions and was created before this change, prebuilt skills can be made available upon request. To request specific prebuilt skills, raise a support ticket.

Outbound IP addresses

Use the provided IP addresses for outbound connectivity with IBM watsonx Orchestrate as a Service. To ensure that your environment can connect to applications that are behind a firewall and receive data from watsonx Orchestrate, add the appropriate IP addresses to an allowlist on your network.

Transmission of data that comes from watsonx Orchestrate can be operations such as calling skills or AI assistants. To allow the transmission of data to your company network, you need to allowlist the following endpoints according to the watsonx Orchestrate deployment and the region where your environment is hosted:

Note: The IP addresses are subject to change. IBM sends notifications before changes take place for you to plan ahead. The lists that are provided in the topic are up to date at the time of writing. If you face disruption in your environment because of a change, contact IBM support.
Requesting outbound access involves:
  • Opening a Support case when the IBM watsonx Orchestrate tenant is on AWS.
  • Opening an IBM Cloud ticket when the IBM watsonx Orchestrate tenant is on IBM Cloud.
