I created a VM in the asia-east1 region. It gets an IP address of 35.201.212.242. When I look up this IP address on services like iplocation.net, I'm told it is in the US.
The same is true of a VM I created in the australia-southeast1 region. IP is 35.197.162.146.
Why is this?

This happens because Google determines its users' location by cross-checking the location of where the IP address is with the geolocation data it has of devices that use that IP address.
Meet our network *Exception: region has 4 zones.
A zone is a deployment area for Google Cloud resources within a region. Zones should be considered a single failure domain within a region. To deploy fault-tolerant applications with high availability and help protect against unexpected failures, deploy your applications across multiple zones in a region.
Unfortunately, I dont think google cloud has a solution for it yet. :(

And I think AWS is better in this case it shows the correct location: Created GCE in europe region but IP address shows its in US
