Hello Omar,
In general, using Google Cloud Platform, you may try hosting your application in two different ways. The first is by using Google App Engine <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/> where the idea is to focus on your code and build your application without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. However the infrastructure that is hosting your app is regional <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/locations>, and you have to choose the region before deployment (project creation). For example, if you choose to have your application in europe-west2 (London), then your customers in London will have faster response time than other customers from other parts of the world. The second approach is to manage your own virtual infrastructure through Google Compute Engine <https://cloud.google.com/compute/>. For example, you can create as many VM instances <https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/create-start-instance> as you wish in multiple regions <https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/regions-zones/>, and run your application accordingly, load balance and autoscale <https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/load-balancing/> the VMs, use Cloud CDN <https://cloud.google.com/cdn/>, etc. In both circumstances IP addresses are not the proper resources to determine where the underlying infrastructure is hosting your application ( VM instance for example). As a matter of fact, Google Cloud IP addresses are not specific to a region <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/gce-discussion/ip$20address$20in$20europe/gce-discussion/otD1c6E-wWI/3c0HxTf71HcJ>, and they are usually registered to be originating in the USA ( Mountain View) despite that the resource using it could be somewhere else. In other words, your customers can not determine the location of your resource from an IP address. I hope this answers your question. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
