Choosing a region when creating new environment

We are currently advising a German client who wants to create a Power Platform solution with highly personalized data.

Ideally, this data should stay within Germany. I referred to the Infrastructure and Availability PDF which mentions the following options for data storage:

So local would be perfect, as it would keep our customer's data within Germany.

Next, I referred to the Geographic Availability report. It clearly lists German data centers as options for Power Apps, Power Automate, and various Dynamics 365 services, so I assume this also applies to Dataverse:

The screenshot lists two German Regions as Local clouds within the geography "Germany".

 

When I am setting up an environment, I can select a region for this environment.

 

However, when I'm trying to set up an environment in our tenant (we are also located in Germany), I cannot find Germany in the list of "regions":

Am I missing something? Can someone else create an environment in Germany? I'm stumped.

    Thanks @akandis, maybe this is the reason.

    Hello!

     

    Looks like you Azure Active Directory tenant is not in the same region where you want to create the Power Platform environment. I think you should rise a Ticket.

     

    Also I share this link where talks about it. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/regions-overview#can-i-create-an-environment-outside-of-my-tenant-region
