You can start your YB master like this:

./bin/yb-master --flagfile /db/master.conf >& /db/yb-master.out &

and put the following data into your /db/master.conf:

--placement_zone=your-zone
--placement_region=your-region
--placement_cloud=your-cloud

The corresponding reference is located here: https://docs.yugabyte.com/latest/reference/configuration/yb-tserver/#geo-distribution-options
