Bigtable locations
When you create a Bigtable instance, you must choose a location for each cluster in the instance. You cannot change the location after you create the cluster.
Bigtable is available in zonal locations, which are zones within a Google Cloud region. If a zone becomes unavailable, all of the zonal resources in that zone are unavailable until service is restored.
To reduce latency and increase availability, store your data close to the users
and services that need it. For example, if you frequently write data to
Bigtable from a Cloud Storage bucket in the us-central1
(Iowa) region, create your Bigtable cluster in a zone within
us-central1.
