Google Cloud resources are hosted in different data centers worldwide, divided into Regions and Zones.
You control the location of your Viya4 IAC resources by setting the location variable to either a Region or a Zone.
In each case, a regional Cluster will be created, that is, the cluster control plane will be replicated in all zones in the region.
All other resources will be zonal.
If you choose a Region:
| Resource | Location |
|---|---|
| Cluster Control Plane | Regional in the specified Region |
| Default Node VMs | 1st Zone of the specified Region |
| GKE Cluster node VMs | 1st Zone of the specified Region |
| Jump VM | 1st Zone of the specified Region |
