A GCP (Google Cloud Platform) customer might use resources in several zones within a region primarily for improved fault tolerance.
Working with a person at a cloud computing provider is not necessarily required to get resources from them. Cloud computing providers typically offer self-service platforms and interfaces that allow customers to provision and manage resources on their own.
IAAS (Infrastructure as a Service) is the type of cloud computing service that provides raw compute, storage, and network resources, organized in ways that are familiar from physical data centers.

A GCP (Google Cloud Platform) customer might use resources in several regions around the world for two primary reasons: to bring their applications closer to users around the world and to improve fault tolerance.
