How can I deploy agent to LiveKit Cloud Japan region?
t
Thanks for reaching out, Rin. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
Thanks — I can help with that. You can deploy an agent to the LiveKit Cloud Japan region using the LiveKit CLI. Quick steps: 1. Authenticate with LiveKit Cloud:
Copy code
lk cloud auth
1. Create/deploy your agent and specify the Japan/Asia region:
Copy code
lk agent create --region asia
(The Japan region is identified as
asia
.) 1. Confirm or set region in the generated
livekit.toml
if you want the setting persisted. 2. Monitor status and logs:
Copy code
lk agent status
lk agent logs
If you’d like, tell me: • the agent project folder name (or where your
livekit.toml
is), and • whether you want the region set in the CLI only or saved to `livekit.toml`— and I’ll give exact commands you can run. Sources: Deploying to production | LiveKit Docs | server-sdk-go | livekit/livekit_composite | DeepWiki | Region pinning | LiveKit docs

unable to create agent: region asia not found

Thanks — I see you're getting "region asia not found." That error means
asia
is not a valid region identifier. Try deploying with the Japan region code `jp`:
Copy code
lk agent create --region jp
If that still fails, please tell me: • the exact
lk
command you ran, • your
lk version
output (
lk version
), • and the contents of your
livekit.toml
(if present). I’ll use that to troubleshoot further. Sources: Deploying to production | LiveKit Docs | Region pinning | LiveKit docs

Thanks — I’m responding to your “region ... not found” errors and the missing
version
help topic. This typically means your
lk
CLI is outdated or the region code you’re using isn’t supported by your CLI/account. Quick next steps so I can help you unblock: 1. Tell me the exact command you ran that produced the error. 2. Run these and paste outputs: ◦
which lk
◦
lk --help
◦
lk version
(if it errors, copy the error text) 1. If you have a
livekit.toml
, paste its region field or the whole file. While you gather that, try updating the CLI (one of these): • curl installer:
Copy code
curl -sSL <https://get.livekit.io/cli> | bash
• Homebrew:
Copy code
brew upgrade livekit-cli
After updating, attempt:
Copy code
lk agent create --region s-ja
s-ja
(or
tokyo
) is commonly used for Japan in recent CLI versions. Send the command outputs and I’ll diagnose next steps. Sources: Region pinning | LiveKit docs | server-sdk-go | livekit/livekit_composite | DeepWiki | Deploying to production | LiveKit Docs
