Research direction

Start with src/python/tensorflow_cloud/core/gcp.py at get_region(), then trace how tfc.run submits jobs to AI Platform. Determine where a user-specified region would enter the run path and verify that the submitted job uses it instead of the current default region.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

Currently, job sent to AI Platform is always as specified in function get_region():
https://github.com/tensorflow/cloud/blob/8644935271ffa4cc86f6be7d7af8f905d097cea4/src/python/tensorflow_cloud/core/gcp.py#L73

It would be useful if the user could specify the region, e.g. as a parameter in tfc.run.
