Maybe Use GC Load Balancer on Redirector

[jamesward]

Why? Cool example of doing global load balancing and location based serving.

Could also either auto-select the region or change the default based on where the user is.

Probably harder for long-term maintenance (thinking of people who’d come after me) until there’s a native support for doing so with 1-command or something similar.

But the auto-select region argument is brilliant. It would work.

We do have deployment automated already: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-run-button/blob/master/cloudbuild-redirector.yaml

So we could possibly add all the setup / deployment there.

It’s more of "ensuring 7-8 load balancer are there" could be the difficult part. Something along the lines of Terraform can do this probably better. Similarly when you create a LB you'd need to deal with static IP management world and accidentally not deleting that, whereas it's hard to break Cloud Run domain mappings.
