One thing I don't understand about Durable Objects yet is where they are physically located.

Are they located in the region that hosted the API call that caused them to be created in the first place?

If so, is there a mechanism by which a DO can be automatically migrated to another location if it turns out that e.g. they were created in North America but actually all of the subsequent read/write traffic to them comes from Australia?

https://where.durableobjects.live is a good website that shows you where they live. Only about 10-11% of Cloudflare PoPs host durable objects. Requests to another PoP to create a DO will get forward to one of the nearby PoPs which do host them.
