> If customers think this is a feature and not a bug, then I have a very different understanding about what serverless/FaaS is meant to be used for. My division is pretty much only looking at edge networking scenarios. Can I redirect you to a CDN asset in Boston instead of going clear across the country to us-west-1? We would definitely NOT run Lamba out of us-west-1 for this work.
I'm not sure how you're misunderstanding, but why would it go across the country when it's guaranteed to run from the same parent? Just deploy the app in the region you want, and now its Flame pools will be deployed in the same region.
If you want to switch the region it runs in, you can also easily just contact the other cluster to tell it to pick up the work.
