Hi User. I can check into this; would you mind confirming where you’re seeing that the call goes to the US instead of São Paulo?

if I'm getting it right, the IP 34.102.168.221 is in Kansas City

My colleague was looking into something like this, so I’ll check on the work he did and get back to you, but I believe it’s some sort of IP aliasing (I’m not sure the exact term for it). We can see it’s likely at play here because a signal couldn’t get from São Paulo to Kansas City and back in 9 ms.

I’ll follow up shortly once I have some specifics.

great point, 9ms is ultra fast

yes globally available ip addresses wreck havoc with whois lookups.
You can see the region indirectly by inferring from clustername here:

$ curl -XGET -I  <https://scp71evy.apicdn.sanity.io> -H"X-debug: true"
HTTP/2 200

kubernetes02-eu-w1-01
is GCP europe-west1, aka Belgium.You should see
kubernetes02-sa-e1-01
which is GCP southamerica-east1, aka Sao Paolo.

We have to revisit the documentation for this somehow I think, it’s such an easy assumption to make that whois is accurate.

thanks a lot User and User, all clear 👍I see the clustername referring to "south america" from my end
