You surely get lowest latency for us-central1 if your Redis instance is situated in that zone. One of the first steps in setting up Redis for your flexible environment is hosting a Redis instance on Google Compute Engine.This instance can be located in the zone of your choice. You can read more detail on the "Connect to Redis from Node.js on Google App Engine Flexible Environment" page <https://cloud.google.com/community/tutorials/nodejs-redis-on-appengine>, "Start a Redis server" sub-chapter.
REDIS clusters are only deployed on Compute Engine clusters. They can be used by App Engine Flex as its Memcache, since Flex cannot use GAE Standard's Google managed Memcache. You can set up your Compute Engine Redis instance in a conveniently situated zone, which grants the lowest latency, as judging by your planned usage pattern. For instructions on how to set up your Redis instance you can check the "How to Set Up Redis on Google Compute Engine" online document <https://cloud.google.com/community/tutorials/setting-up-redis>. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
