Hi Kishan,

It's nice to have region feature, I have some questions though.

>stores snapshots in secondary storage. Snapshots should instead be stored in 
>the object-store

Does this mean object-store is a requirement for Region?
If I don't want/have any object-store, how can I configure CloudStack, do I 
need to disable region feature? can I disable region feature?
