I have set my compute region and zone to us-east4 using Google Cloud SDK

$ gcloud init

$ gcloud config set compute/region us-east4

$ gcloud config set compute/zone us-east4

however the AutoML Vision model keeps defaulting to us-central1. I have tried restarting terminal and training a new model after confirming that my compute region is set to us-east4 and the project/account are correct.

$ gcloud config configurations list

NAME         IS_ACTIVE  ACCOUNT                  PROJECT                     DEFAULT_ZONE  DEFAULT_REGION
default      True       xxxxxxxxxxxxx@gmail.com  xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx  us-east4-b    us-east4

When I request a prediction in Python with my compute region argument set to us-east4 I get an error saying:

400 List of found errors: 1.Field: name; Message: The provided location ID is not valid. : InvalidArgument

However when I request a prediction with the compute region argument set to us-central1 it works and I get a prediction response. I am not sure why this is or if I'm missing something.

Check the Prerequisite #10 here: AutoML Vision API Tutorial. It says:

"AutoML Vision currently requires the location us-central1"

Note that Cloud AutoML stills on Beta so it might take a while before it gets available in other locations. So, for now, you won't be able to change it.
