Google to Open Hong Kong Cloud Region in 2018

Google Cloud Platform will open an infrastructure region in Hong Kong next year, consisting of three separate data center zones. It will become its sixth region in Asia-Pacific, after Mumbai, Sydney, Singapore, Taiwan, and Tokyo. The company also teased that there would be further announcements about upcoming Asian regions in the coming months.

Including Hong Kong, the total now stands at 18 global locations and 53 zones either open or planned – the Iowa region has four zones instead of the standard three while Singapore and the planned work in the Netherlands currently stand at two.
