# Which US region to run with BR one at GCP

Hey, South America user running Google Cloud. Can you run all your workloads on your region?

Usually, you need to run some services in cheaper regions like USA and keep some others in `southamerica-east1`.

So, what's the point?

We can distribute some workloads on cheaper regions at GCP. The South Carolina region is the best option for.

Especially, if you need to run **Cloud Interconnect** as quoted below:

> South Carolina (us-east1) enables customers in South America to receive an SLA of 99.99% for their Cloud Interconnect configurations, since it is the closest North American region to South America.

So, don't choose random regions anymore.
