Feature Request: Allow selecting Region and existing Service when deploying to Cloud Run from AI Studio

Hi,

I am using Google AI Studio to generate apps and deploy them directly to Cloud Run. Currently, the “Deploy to Cloud Run” feature seems to default to creating a new service in us-central1 (or a default US region) without offering a choice.

The Problem:

  1. Region Lock: As a user based in Europe, I need to deploy to europe-north1 or europe-west1 for lower latency and data residency/GDPR compliance. Currently, I cannot select the region during the deployment flow.

  2. Service Duplication: If I want to update an existing application, I cannot select my existing Cloud Run service. The tool often creates a new service or revision in the wrong region, forcing me to manually copy container image URLs and redeploy them manually via the Cloud Console CLI to get them to the right location.

  3. Configuration Loss: When I have to manually move the deployment to change the region, I lose the automated CI/CD flow or have to set up complex GitHub integration manually to fix what should be a simple deployment.

Proposed Solution: In the “Deploy to Cloud Run” modal/dialog in AI Studio, please add:

  • A dropdown to select the target Region (e.g., allow me to pick europe-north1).

  • A dropdown or input to select an existing Cloud Run Service to update, instead of auto-generating a new name/service.

This would significantly improve the Developer Experience (DX) for non-US users and prevent the need for manual workarounds in the Google Cloud Console after deployment.

Thanks!
