Description

I tried so set my compute region to "west europe" using the gcp console.
Did not work, jobs where always started in "us-central1".

Turns out, the region is hardcoded in tensorflow-cloud.
The implementation in /core/gcp.py is:

def get_region():
return "us-central1"

Please change it to use the default region from gcp, or let us pass in the region as parameter.

Research direction

Start in core/gcp.py at get_region(), which currently returns "us-central1". Review how the repository obtains or passes the GCP region, then verify the implementation can honor the user's configured region or an explicit parameter. Done means jobs no longer always default to "us-central1" when another region is selected.
