  <p>Due to strict guidelines from client we have to make sure there should be no trace where it shows that the app is hosted outside EU.</p>
  
  <p>Not even here: <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/2KpI3.jpg" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/2KpI3.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>We are using google services from a long if we dont get a solution then we will have no other choice left except to move to AWS.</p>
  
  <p>Because in AWS we have a RDS instance which is based in London region and when we are doing the ip address lookup its showing the expected result.

  <p><strong>> Is there any way we can make it to point to only Europe region and not
   any other region including US.</strong></p>
  
  <p>We already have our application deployed into GAE instance but since it does not offer any changes into the ip address. I tried to look for a solution into the GCE but this also does not solve our issue.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>

    <p>Just for the records.  We posted an issue on the support portal and
    even bought gold support package  to get it resolved. But it turned
    out that it cant be achieved. 
    They cant help out in getting the trace-route to show the actual region 
    for static ip where the respective instance is located. And we ended up > migrating to Azure platform from GCP.</p>

  <p>I will keep it open, may be GCP will come up with a solution in future for this issue.</p>
