---------------------------------------------------------------
Just to be clear, the protocol is to check the environment variables, and then
execute the gcloud command?
Which would be to use [os.Getenv|https://godoc.org/pkg/os#Getenv] with
"CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION" and then use the [os/exec
package|https://godoc.org/pkg/os/exec] to call the gcloud executable?

> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: runner-dataflow, sdk-go
> Reporter: Kyle Weaver
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 3h 40m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> Currently, we default to us-central1 if --region flag is not set. The Google
> Cloud SDK generally tries to get a default value in this case for
> convenience, which we should follow.

> Update 11/12: this is complete for Python and Java, Go remains.
