Heyo Googler here.

The problem was a mix between another cloud provider and GCP.

Dare I say, there should be little customer impact as of 13:37 PST.....

The status dashboard is going to be your best idea on information.

Is the another cloud provider AWS? I could see tons of connection timeoutes between GCP & S3/Elasticsearch service.

Hope everything is resolved now for good.

Oh man I had no idea the big cloud providers have dependencies on other clouds like this.

We were seeing timeouts in east-1. I don't know what "normal" looks like, but Pingdom's map seems to show the whole east coast as affected https://livemap.pingdom.com/

I was bummed out when Siteground moved all their cloud accounts over G, without telling their customers beforehand

This is extremely concerning as somebody looking to move or build on top of GCP for the long term. I wonder why anyone would choose GCP if outages are occurring on a regular basis.

Any evidence they happen more frequently that the other clouds?

"We had a router failure in Atlanta".

WHAT? You kidding us?

Urs Hölzle, technical infrastructure at Google Cloud senior vice president, said, "We're very sorry about that! We had a router failure in Atlanta, which affected traffic routed through that region. Things should be back to normal now. Just to make sure: This wasn't related to traffic levels or any kind of overload, our network is not stressed by COVID-19."

Was it like... a hardware failure? If you serve more than 100 people you probably should have redundant routers. Was it a configuration issue that replicated over to multiple devices at least, I hope?
