 The list of supported offline and online stores can be found [here](../reference/offline-stores/) and [here](../reference/online-stores/), respectively. The [roadmap](../roadmap.md) indicates the stores for which we are planning to add support. Finally, our Provider abstraction is built to be extensible, so you can plug in your own implementations of offline and online stores. Please see more details about custom providers [here](../how-to-guides/creating-a-custom-provider.md).
 
+### Does Feast support using different clouds for offline vs online stores?
+
+Yes. Using a GCP or AWS provider in `feature_store.yaml` primarily sets default offline / online stores and configures where the remote registry file can live (Using the AWS provider also allows for deployment to AWS Lambda). You can override the offline and online stores to be in different clouds if you wish.

-Feast Core and Feast Serving were both part of Feast Java. We plan to support Feast Serving. We will not support Feast Core; instead we will support our object store based registry.
