Google Cloud Platform expands to Australia with new Sydney region

  • More detail on the region: https://cloud.google.com/about/locations/sydney

  • Awesome. Any GCP folks here have an ETA on the new California region? Can't wait until we can provision clusters across two regions (California <=> Oregon) while keeping the speed of light latency low.

  • Can you guys please add this to the default VPC for people?

    For whatever reason every other region is there already but not this.

    I can't create GCE instances because it's missing the subnet and you can't add a subnet to the default VPC.

  • Anyone able to say (or guess!) where the datacentres are?

  • Any ETA on the new India region? Eagerly waiting to provision clusters to keep the latency low for our customers.

  • Too many googleblog posts recently. Seriously.
