Does a Durable Objects data get distributed to all CF datacenters?

Developers Workers
1

A few questions:

A. If a Durable Object is started closest to the user in city A and stores some data, and then later gets started in city B, does that data exist in that location too?

B. Does the data get replicated to all Cloudflare datacenters?

C. Is the Durable Object location fixed to where it was first created?

The docs say this:

Object location
Object location1374×370 44.6 KB

D. But does “creation” mean each time the object is started, or only the very first time it is created?

E. If a Durable Object is locked to a specific location, how do I move it if my customer moves location?

F. Am I able to read the location of a worker/durable object?
