    Sometimes Salesforce has custom instances for demo / pre-release /webinars like GS which is not mentioned in trust, The one you mentioned UM seems like the same.

  • @PranayJaiswal what is 'GS' -- also does that mean it will change to an 'EU' instance after the pre-release? Is there any documentation to support this? Email: ATTENTION: Your new instance name will be UM4 following the instance refresh on January 19 status.salesforce.com/maintenances/28535

    According to GDPR stuff I heard, EU data should be inside EU no matter what, after brexit that wont be the case so I dont know if UM should even be considered for your org migration. The best bet is to raise a case or mail your account manager
