VIN region?

Questions / Help

Just noticed my app is running in VIN region, which is one of my two backup regions:

Region Pool: 
iad
Backup Region: 
ewr
vin

I don’t remember anything about VIN region, so I checked the available regions with flyctl platform regions:

CODE	NAME                        	GATEWAY 
ams 	Amsterdam, Netherlands      	✓

syd 	Sydney, Australia           	✓      	
yyz 	Toronto, Canada             	✓

Now I am confused.
Where is VIN located? Any other unlisted regions available?
I’d love flyctl platform regions to be complete.

This is a failover IAD region that we’ve labeled differently for various reasons. It’s not exactly a region people should choose! Adding it to backup regions by default was a mistake (because that’s surprising), but if you do want backup regions it’ll work just fine.
