Getting GCP available regions without doing a request

[adriaferre]

Hello,
I would like to know if there is a way to get all GCP available regions without doing a request to GCP.
I've been looking at the source code, and the only way that I found to retrieve all the regions is doing a request:

google-cloud-java/google-cloud-clients/google-cloud-compute/src/main/java/com/google/cloud/compute/v1/RegionClient.java

Line 272 in 969bbee

public final ListRegionsPagedResponse listRegions(ProjectName project) {

So, maybe it's not possible 😓

Do you thing this could be a cool feature? I've been working with others cloud competitors SDK and they have this feature, and I think it's useful.

@adriaferre Thanks for submitting this feature request!

It does seem that we have a static set of Regions: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/regions-zones/.

Could we envision in the code base as this as a static class with just a static list of Region objects?

Hello @andreamlin
Yes, definitely having a static list of Region objects will work perfectly for us :) This is what we are doing meanwhile we don't have this feature in the official GCP SDK.

Ok!
