Google Cloud Platform (GCP) regions are the cornerstone of our cloud infrastructure, and over the past four years, have grown in number to 22, with 67 zones across 16 countries, delivering high-performance, low latency, zero emissions, cloud-based services to users throughout the world.Introducing our newest regionsAs previously announced, over the next year we’ll open regions in Jakarta, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Seoul, and Warsaw. And today we’re announcing that we will launch additional cloud regions in Delhi (India), Doha (Qatar), Melbourne (Australia) and Toronto (Canada). When launched, each region will have three zones to protect against service disruptions, launch with a portfolio of key GCP products, and offer lower latency to nearby users. Delhi, Melbourne and Toronto are the second regions within those markets enabling in-country disaster recovery for mission critical applications.As our customers in India grow and diversify, we continue to advance and invest in our cloud infrastructure to help industries such as commerce, healthcare and financial services, as well as public sector organizations across India achieve their goals. “Buyers and suppliers can already access our marketplace much faster than previously with Google Cloud, and this has a positive impact on customer engagement, time spent and the entire user journey. We are extremely excited about the potential of a second GCP region in India to help us provide an even better experience to the businesses that use IndiaMART,” said Amarinder S Dhaliwal, Chief Product Officer, IndiaMART. We’re also pleased to announce that we’ve signed our first strategic collaboration agreement to launch a region in the Middle East with the Qatar Free Zones Authority (QFZA). The region will launch in Doha, Qatar, allowing new and existing customers, as well as partners, to run their workloads locally. We see substantial interest from many customers in the Middle East and Africa, including Bespin Global, one of Asia’s leading cloud managed service providers. “We work with some of the largest Korean enterprises, helping to drive their digital transformation initiatives. One of the key requirements that we have is that we need to deliver the same quality of service to all of our customers around the globe,” said John Lee, CEO, Bespin Global. “Google Cloud’s continuous investments in expanding their own infrastructure to areas like the Middle East make it possible for us to meet our customers where they are.” Through our new Toronto region, we’re able to expand our collaboration with customers like Hopper, the popular travel booking app across 120 countries. The region will support Hopper’s growth not only domestically and across North America, but around the globe. “Having already collaborated closely with the Google Cloud team in Montréal, where we’re headquartered, we look forward to their Toronto expansion. Google Cloud services allow us to bring a lower-latency travel planning and booking service to our customers, and the second Canada region will allow us to extend that experience to more people around the world,” said Ken Pickering, CTO at Hopper. The opening of the Melbourne region strengthens our investment in Australia and commitment to supporting our expanding customer base, all in a secure and sustainable way. A great example of this is the work we’re doing with financial services institutions in Australia, like ANZ Bank, to advance their multi-cloud strategy. “We aim to shape a world where people and communities thrive and Google Cloud is key to the transformation that enables us to achieve this purpose. Google Cloud’s Melbourne region presents opportunities to further enhance a cloud-based technology environment that incorporates integrated governance controls and service management, as well as consistent security controls,” said Gerard Florian, Group Executive, Technology, ANZ Bank.Beyond capacity and scale We’re constantly investing in our global technology infrastructure to make sure we have the capacity you need to run mission-critical services, with the latency that your users expect. In addition, we’re working hard to build regional capacity that meets your availability, data residency, and sustainability needs. Here are some of our other priorities when considering new regions:Provide multiple in-country disaster recovery options: Having multiple regions in the same country gives you a secondary site for disaster recovery that lets you meet your business continuity requirements. Last year we launched Osaka, which, when paired with our Tokyo region, provides customers with an in-country disaster recovery solution. Customers in Canada, India, and Australia will be able to leverage the Toronto, Delhi, and Melbourne cloud regions in the same manner.Give you control of your data: We understand our cloud services need to support the regulatory, security, and compliance requirements of global enterprises. Last year, we shared how to control where you put your data and who can access it, and we continue to invest in data privacy, transparency, and security.Build with sustainability in mind: As more and more enterprises transition to the cloud, sustainable operations are seen as strategic to their business and they select partners who hold the same values. At Google we match 100% of the energy we use with renewable energy. This commitment to sustainability enables our customers to meet their own cloud computing needs with zero net carbon emissions. Delivering the best experience is our priority, and as our customer base expands around the world, we’ll also look to add other regions in new markets across the Middle East, Asia, Europe and the Americas to provide all of our users with reliable performance, security and leading sustainability.

When we first introduced Anthos in 2018, some observers described it as a way to modernize legacy applications. Simply drop your legacy on-prem application into a container, and you were on your way to cloud! But since becoming generally available last April, our customers tell us Anthos is how they want to deploy, manage and optimize all their applications—legacy as well as cloud-native. It doesn’t matter who wrote the applications or where they run, applications managed by Anthos run on an infrastructure layer that’s been abstracted, and have access to high value services that let them run efficiently and securely, without fear of lock-in or needless complexity. Anthos, in other words, is about much more than one-off application modernization; it’s about how you can build, deploy and operate applications efficiently in an increasingly hybrid and multi-cloud world. Along the way, Anthos lets you automate your infrastructure and save money by optimizing your cloud costs and reducing management overhead—wherever your applications may be. Multi-cloud made possibleMulti-cloud, our customers tell us, is the world they want to live in. Today, enterprises have applications in a variety of locations, and they want the freedom to keep them there—or move them in the future—in response to any number of factors. Those factors can include cost, uptime, compliance requirements, latency considerations, or proximity to other services, just to name a few. Taken together, these are ways to reduce business risk—but it’s only possible if applications are portable.But before Anthos, multi-cloud was complicated and expensive. You had to find and train technical staff knowledgeable about your different cloud APIs and services, and applications that you designed for one environment didn’t easily translate or port to another, creating silos and limiting multi-cloud’s impact. Multi-cloud also frees customers to future-proof the the applications they build. They don’t necessarily know where they’ll build their next app, just that they will. In other words, they want to be able to build anywhere, and for the applications they create to be portable, so they can avoid being locked in.Consistency as the greatest common denominatorAnthos makes multi-cloud easy thanks to its foundation of Kubernetes—specifically the Kubernetes-style API. Using the latest upstream version as a starting point, Anthos can see, orchestrate and manage any workload that talks to the Kubernetes API—the lingua franca of modern application development, and an interface that supports more and more traditional workloads.Then, Anthos goes on to empower developers with the latest cloud technologies. Integrations with offerings like Cloud Code let developers automate the test and release software faster, and with a higher degree of quality. Cloud Run for Anthos lets them build elastic services that run anywhere, and Config Connector lets them natively access any cloud resource including VMs—all in a uniform way. Whatever technology it was that brought them to Anthos, the systems they build on Anthos today will be consistent across whatever environments they deploy to tomorrow, all while reducing costs and improving developer velocity. Security, visibility and scaleAnd while this Kubernetes consistency may be what makes multi-cloud possible, Anthos’ benefits don’t end there. Other Anthos components deliver capabilities that other platform providers simply don’t offer. Customers tell us they want to set up security policies that they can automatically enforce across all their environments, so they can audit and govern their environment, and demonstrate compliance with policy-driven controls. Leveraging the Anthos outcome-focused configuration model, for example, Anthos Config Manager allows you to define policies about how and where a workload can run—and ensure that it continues to run in that way—across all your Anthos deployments.They also want better visibility into their applications. Anthos Service Mesh is a managed service that provides security and observability for applications running in an Anthos-managed system—the performance, service level objectives, the events, the network traffic—helping you exert fine-grained control of that traffic while removing some of the difficult and undifferentiated work of upgrades and patching.Finally, customers want to do this without spending more money. In fact, they’re looking to Anthos to help them save money. As a managed, programmatically-addressed software layer, Anthos reduces operational overhead with its built-in state automation, and increases developer productivity by optimizing the developer tool chain. And going forward, it will accelerate savings even more, by freeing organizations from legacy software license costs.Toward Anthos everywhereWith this visibility into the actual and desired states of your multi-cloud infrastructure—and the ability to enforce the desired state—Anthos lets you optimize your environment, helping you meet your cost, uptime, performance and security goals. Armed with the operational data that Anthos provides, you can decide how to manage applications based on things like performance and latency needs, or perhaps an outage at one of your locations. This is the promise of multi-cloud, and one of Anthos’ many unique benefits. Customers tell us that what Anthos can do is so transformational, that they want us to extend Anthos to more kinds of applications. Why limit modern application deployment, management, and control to new applications? We agree and we’re working hard to help bring Anthos to every application running everywhere. Until then, you can learn more about how Anthos can positively impact your bottom line by reading the latest Total Economic Impact report written by Forrester Research.
