But you can have 3. Why did you choose 30?

In my company we are split in 3, US, EU, APAC, and we have the same issue with global outage for stuff we could have just managed regionally. For all the savings of the global architecture, they disappear each minute a client is down on a global outage because a guy thousands of kms away messed up.

You dont have to unify, at all. You dont unify with your competitors, and the world has not exploded: compete internally between regions ?

GCP needs to support 30 regions because... they're a cloud provider.

Then they can do a glocal model with 10 regions grouped into 3 semi global groups, so when there s a global outage, it can only be on one of these ?
