Self-hosted GitHub Actions runners in GCP us-central1 (Iowa)

Why this fits

• GCP's flagship US region with full A100 / H100 availability.
• Google Cloud GCP us-central1 (Iowa) keeps your CI compute in US for the duration of the job — useful for GDPR, RBI, HIPAA-adjacent and other data-residency rules.
• Audit-friendly — every job logs the region it ran in; data leaving the region requires an explicit step in your workflow.
