Customers With a Global Footprint Have Been Looking Forward to the Launch of the GCP Region in Los Angeles.

"Los Angeles is a global hub for fashion, music, entertainment, aerospace, and more -- and technology is essential to strengthening our status as a center of invention and creativity. Bringing Google Cloud to L.A. puts the full power of 21st century innovation in the hands of small businesses and startups, giving entrepreneurs the tools to disrupt industries, pursue new ideas, and potentially redefine the way we work, communicate, and live."
— Eric Garcetti, Los Angeles Mayor, City of Los Angeles

"A lot of our short form projects pop up unexpectedly, so having extra capacity in region can help us quickly capitalize on these opportunities. The extra speed the LA region gives us will help us free up our artists to do more creative work. We’re also expanding internationally, and hiring more artists abroad, and we’ve found that Google Cloud has the best combination of global reach, high performance and cost to help us achieve our ambitions."
— Tom Taylor, Head of Engineering, The Mill

"Using Google Cloud for visual effects rendering enables our team to be fast, flexible and to work on multiple large projects simultaneously without fear of resource starvation.
