 # Workspace mappings
 
-When enabling solutions like Update Management, Change Tracking and Inventory, or Start/Stop VMs during off hours, only certain regions are supported for linking a Log Analytics workspace and an Automation account. This mapping only applies to the Automation account and the Log Analytics workspace. The resources reporting to your Automation account or Log Analytics workspace can reside in other regions.

 ## Log Analytics workspace and Automation account

 All monitoring solutions require a [Log Analytics workspace](../platform/manage-access.md) to store data collected by the solution and to host its log searches and views. Some solutions also require an [Automation account](../../automation/automation-security-overview.md#automation-account-overview) to contain runbooks and related resources. The workspace and account must meet the following requirements.
 
 * Each installation of a solution can only use one Log Analytics workspace and one Automation account. You can install the solution separately into multiple workspaces.
 * If a solution requires an Automation account, then the Log Analytics workspace and Automation account must be linked to one another. A Log Analytics workspace may only be linked to one Automation account, and an Automation account may only be linked to one Log Analytics workspace.
-* To be linked, the Log Analytics workspace and Automation account must be in the same resource group and region. The exception is a workspace in East US region and Automation account in East US 2.
