Missing regions for BI Engine in BigQuery

Question

The docs for BI Engine say that "BI Engine supports the same regions as BigQuery", yet many BigQuery regions seem to be missing when I go to use it:

https://cloud.google.com/bi-engine/docs/overview#supported_regions

Why aren't all the BigQuery regions listed? I need to be able to test it in Sydney.

Answer 1

During the beta, the BI Engine team hasn't yet enabled the service in Sydney or some of the other regions where BigQuery is available. The documentation has been updated now to reflect the actual regions where you can use BI Engine.
