Circumstantial evidence points to a strong Equinix partnership.
Huh, so the "3 availability zones" are 3 datacentres on a 1km stretch of road? https://goo.gl/maps/CSpsvPWsxNE2
Why would that be surprising?

#12Awesome. Any GCP folks here have an ETA on the new California region? Can't wait until we can provision clusters across two regions (California Oregon) while keeping the speed of light latency low.
The ETA for all of California (United States), Frankfurt (Germany), Hamina (Finland), Montreal (Canada), Mumbai (India), Netherlands and Sao Paulo (Brazil) is "2017".

Seems they might share fibre susceptible to excavators, etc. I guess they've probably thought of that ;)
Availability zones are physically separate, but I wouldn't count on them to survive a catastrophic physical event localized to that geographic area.

#16Can you guys please add this to the default VPC for people?
For whatever reason every other region is there already but not this.
I can't create GCE instances because it's missing the subnet and you can't add a subnet to the default VPC.

Nobody at Google will provide future release dates that aren't yet published. Launch dates can slip.
This is incorrect. We happily share a transparent and very open view into 3+ quarters ahead with customers and partners under NDA! We just publish for broader public when its open for the broader public.

Correct! If you've signed the GCP NDA there is a lot of additional clarity for upcoming regions.
Please reach out to Sales and have them contact me if need be (contact info in profile).

AWS in contrast likes to spread things out more, like in Northern Virginia where they have 5 different AZs that are supplied from different electrical substations and confer some 'more than one block down the street' geographic separation. While a bunch of them are in the usual Ashburn-Sterling-Dulles triangle on north of Dulles Airport, there's also ones in Chantilly on the south side of the airport, and past Manassas another 15 miles out.
When AWS rolled out in Ohio, they did the same thing [1], locating two of them in the suburbs northwest of Columbus and one northeast, or in Sweden where they're in Västerås and Eskilstuna on opposite sides of a large lake, and a third in Katerineholm another 50 km out.
