Issue with the "Regions" doc - YUL is throwing an error on deploy

[pmrotule]

I found an issue with this document.

Title: Regions
Location: https://fly.io/docs/reference/regions/
Source: https://github.com/superfly/docs/blob/main/reference/regions.html.markerb

Describe the issue

The documentation clearly states that yul is one of the available region, but it's not the case. I'm a new cusotmer and I created an app with the cli, use the option to tweak the settings which opened a form in my browser and I selected yul in the region dropdown. Now I finally managed to fix my Docker build, but the deployment failed with the following message:

Failed: error creating a new machine: failed to launch VM: Region yul is deprecated and cannot have new resources provisioned. Please consider using an alternate region such as yyz

Why is it still offered as an option and documented as an available region in that case?

Additional info

It's pretty frustrating. Having our servers in Canada is a hard requirement for compliance and we chose Fly because there were regions in Canada. Now there is only one left. How can we be sure that it won't be deprecated as well in the future?

Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention, and expressing your concerns about data residency for Canada. I've passed this along to the team, and they indicated there will be more customer communications and docs updates coming soon regarding available regions.
