[fyi] Updating ip address for Playground staging

[Pablo Estrada via dev <de...@beam.apache.org>]

Hi all,
this email is just to inform contributors that due to resource constraints
in the apache-beam-testing project, we want to update the IP address for
the staging environment of the Beam playground from a us-west one to a
us-east one.

If you have any concerns about this, please reach out to me.
Best
-P.

[ Happy New Year ] Pablo,

I imagine there shouldn't be an issue with changing regions, esp. in a
testing environment ( verifying this is actually testing, which is distinct
from production as served from an account with a 'testing' name :-) ).
Though, it seems likely that you'll also want to update the associated
compute [ in beam playground's case, looks to be a GKE cluster ] to be in
the 'same' region as the regional IP address.

There is potentially reason to consider using a Global IP to increase
future flexibility.  Also, global IPs can be associated with K8s Ingress.
Do advise if it would be helpful to talk about networking/resources in GCP,
I spent much time focused on such networking.  I'd also be happy to get
hands-on to help us out, esp. in the event that there will be an
easier-to-maintain solution [ can document, and/or get PRs together, as
needed ].  Do advise -

Cheers,
Austin
