gcloud compute networks subnets create privatesubnet-us --network=privatenet --region=us-central1 --range=172.16.0.0/24

gcloud compute networks subnets create privatesubnet-eu --network=privatenet --region=europe-west4 --range=172.20.0.0/20

--> subnets are regional, but they can talk to each other if they are in the same network

see networks and subnets
