How to change the region/zone where dataflow job o

问题:

Is there where I can set in google dataprep, the region where the generated dataflow job will be running? For example I'm transforming CSV data in a bucket in Europe to a BigQuery Dataset in Europe. But the dataflow job is running in US-central-1, not good.

Thx in advance for your help.

As of this writing, Google Cloud DataPrep can currently only be run in Iowa (us-central-1). Result from: https://cloud.google.com/dataprep/pricing

Accessibility of products by region can be seen in the following link, but currently it doesn't have DataPrep Beta listed. https://cloud.google.com/about/locations/

You can change where DataPrep jobs run using the profile page on the dataprep app: https://clouddataprep.com/profile (the user icon on top right corner, than click on your account name) Here you can find the buckets used for:

• Upload directory
• Job Run directory
• Temp directory

Change them to your custom ones creating buckets on your preferred region.

Cloud Dataprep uses Cloud Dataflow service underneath. This service can run at more than one location. In fact, when you submit a Cloud Dataflow job, you can specify a regional endpoint for job management and execution by using the --region option. In the above-mentioned documents, "Iowa" represents a drop-down menu that offers other choices than Iowa itself, ex.: London, Belgium and Frankfurt in Europe.

Changing the below directories to my own EU directories worked for me, as suggested by @markov00

• Upload directory
• Job Run directory
• Temp directory
