Vespa Cloud has run in AWS zones since its start in 2019. We are now happy to announce Vespa Cloud availability in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) zones! To add a gcp zone to your application, simply add <region>gcp-us-central1-f</region> to deployment.xml.

GCP availability makes it easier for users with their current workload in GCP to use Vespa Cloud. Using a GCP zone can reduce data transfer costs, simplify operations, and cut latencies by locating everything in the same location and cloud provider.

You can always find the currently supported zones in the zone reference. Let us know if your workload requires additional zones; expect a two-week ramp-up time.
