If you can answer, are most of these new regions in leased DC's? Can you be more specific on locations? (It's going to be hard to find Tokyo just looking at maps.)
- boulos 10y agoOur current locations that we (Google) own and operate are listed here: https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/inside/locations/index.html https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/inside/locations/in... as you've surmised some of those are in use by Cloud (today). Even within Cloud though, different services (like GCS vs GCE) use different datacenters. We try to make that a little more transparent here: https://cloud.google.com/about/locations/ https://cloud.google.com/about/locations/ with GCS being the most visible (us-east3!) because it's used by folks to do explicit Disaster Recovery planning ("I want to make sure my two GCS buckets are separated by at least 1000 miles in case of nuclear attack"). But, we don't specify exact buildings or anything like that, usually only city or county. What specifically were you hoping to know about the location within Tokyo?

- mikecb 10y agoJust a hobby. Some people build models, I hunt for infrastructure. It's fun to follow the build-ups as newer sat imagery is available. For business purposes, I guess it would be interesting to know if the new regions (if they aren't being built from the ground up) would have the same infrastructure quality, environmental quality, connections, etc that you currently have in your own designs.
