How to specify a region for Google App Engine instance?

Question

When authorizing a Cloud SQL instance for an App Engine instance, it is required to have both instances in the same region - this is stated by Google here as below snapshot.

The issue is that we can choose the region for a Cloud SQL instance when creating it, though I'm not sure how we can choose one for creating/uploading an App Engine instance

So the question is, how to specify a region for App Engine instance?

Europe is available for App Engine apps, currently on a limited basis and by request. https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/location http://googledevelopers.blogspot.com/2012/12/app-engine-174-released.html https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1W7LsnYRj0eBAzEQlDtFbsVuIZ0nFU2TaP7cZiaY4Z0Q/viewform?formkey=dDllb3FHLS1IdXVIcjVKR3FScklka1E6MQ

App Engine is just in the United States and Europe for now.

Yeah. That's why when I choose Asia to be my instance's region, it is said the storage instance not in the same region with my app engine instance (which is in Europe/USA only) – Mesquite

May you help to explain what are your 03 links is about? – Mesquite

The first link explains the others: developers.google.com/appengine/docs/location If you want to request to move your app to the EU region, click the "European Offering request form" link at the bottom of that page. Unfortunately, App Engine is not yet available in the Asia region. – Accalia

I wasn't able to make the EU region work (for App Engine instances), just moved the Cloud SQL to United States – Jayejaylene

Answer 2

I came across this question 3.5 years later, and gcloud now supports creating App Engine applications for a project in a particular region:

$ gcloud app create --project=$PROJECTID --region=northamerica-northeast1

Alternatively it can be specified in the Google Cloud Console when creating a project's App Engine component.
