Cannot match region between Google App Engine & VPC Network


I am setting a private connection between my project's Google App Engine and Compute engine with a serverless VPC network. The region of the GAE is set in northamerica-northeast1 (which can't be changed as described in the documentation), so I am trying to set up the VPC connector to be in the same region, following this guide.

When creating a new serverless VPC connector, it looks like there is no region selection for northamerica-northeast1, as shown in the screenshot. Is there a way to set up the connector to this region already set by app engine? At this point the last thing I want to do is start an entirely new project just to re-setup app engine and other applications on GCP.

I have seen some responses in the past about getting whitelisted to be given access to specific requests such as this, but again, I do not know how to go about that process either, if that is my best option.

Solution

  • After getting in touch with a helpful Google support rep, this specific region is indeed not supported by VPC networks. My best (and really only) option was to set up a new project, with a new region and match my VPC network to the new region, and then migrate/copy any datasets and apps I was using from the old project to the new.
