Google IPs seem to be being routed to China for us. We have servers in San Jose that cannot access Google services. Trace route shows everything going to China when leaving the San Jose data center. We can access the same services from Vancouver just fine.

Seems like its time to start or accelerate a working group on secure BGP.

Might be related to: https://status.cloud.google.com/incident/cloud-networking/18... Also in LA, had intermittent issues with google.com and Spotify all morning. edit: linked to wrong issue

unlikely, IMO. this is a routing problem, either a deliberate attack or else a gigantic screwup

Is our first time actually rolling over the entire stack to AWS - and it worked!

GCP outage currently is massive, can't even use other regions.

Edit: This also affected AWS Oregon region earlier. I do not know how yet, but they too were unreachable briefly. Seems to be okay now.

Hi all - Seth from Google here. Our team is aware and we are working on mitigation. In short, a third party telco provider is advertising on one of our IP blocks. Unfortunately that's all the information I can share at this time.

thanks for the update! FWIW we started noticing the connectivity problems around 2018-11-12 21:17 UTC
