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.

The ETA for all of California (United States), Frankfurt (Germany), Hamina (Finland), Montreal (Canada), Mumbai (India), Netherlands and Sao Paulo (Brazil) is "2017".

If you contact Sales, they may be able to provide additional detail under NDA. https://cloud.google.com/contact/

Correct! If you've signed the GCP NDA there is a lot of additional clarity for upcoming regions.

Please reach out to Sales and have them contact me if need be (contact info in profile).

Nobody at Google will provide future release dates that aren't yet published. Launch dates can slip.

This is incorrect. We happily share a transparent and very open view into 3+ quarters ahead with customers and partners under NDA! We just publish for broader public when its open for the broader public.

Or the São Paulo region?

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.

GCP support here. We're aware of some users hitting this, it's an artifact of how the new regions are published to existing projects. This should be resolved for all users by the end of the day (Sydney time).

In the meantime, try these workarounds:

* Create a new project, it should work off the bat

* Create a manual network and explicitly add the subnetworks you want

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

Circumstantial evidence points to a strong Equinix partnership.

Huh, so the "3 availability zones" are 3 datacentres on a 1km stretch of road? https://goo.gl/maps/CSpsvPWsxNE2

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.
