Do Google host their own products on Google Cloud, or are there different sets of data centres for Search/Drive/Gmail vs Google Cloud Customers?

- jeffbee 3y agoThis is a leased facility, the kind of place Google rents for cloud customers but doesn't need for itself. Google's own datacenters are https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/locations/ https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/locations/
- packetslave 3y agoOther way around. Google Cloud runs on the same underlying datacenter, compute, and network infrastructure that Search/Drive/Gmail does. [edit: at least in regions where Google HAS its own datacenters, e.g. "us-central-1? yes. europe-west9? maybe not"]. That does not imply that Search / Drive / Gmail runs on top of Google Cloud.
