Google Cloud is the number 4 most monitored status page on StatusGator and Google Apps is number 12. In addition, at least 20 other services we monitor seemingly depend on Google Cloud because they all posted issues as soon as Google went down.

It's always interesting to see these outages at large cloud providers spider out across the rest of the internet, a lot of the world depends on Google to stay up.

That feeling when you open https://console.cloud.google.com and see that you don't have your Kubernetes clusters and CloudSQL databases, but CTA to create first.

Gosh, this was so scary... I thought someone had hacked in and deleted everything... I hope they come back. This is still pretty scary

And here I thought I was having a bad day with Google Play not loading

gitlab is slow too

Slow is understatement... some pages on gitlab.com take minutes to load, and jobs take tens of minutes to start.

EDIT: It's been like that since at least 12h ago though. Not sure if it's connected to Google Cloud?

I was playing around this afternoon with appengine, and thought I broke one my projects when I started getting 502 back.

There appears to be some irregularities on consumer services as well that are of course certainly related, youtube was behaving a bit oddly for me.

The impact seems to be cascading down from just GCE to other services as well - that status page certainly does not reflect the reality of the situation. You can't even sign into GCP right now, and things that run on GCE, like appengine seem impacted.

Anyone using both AWS and GCP that can form an opinion on availability of both? As a GCP customer I am not very happy with theirs.

Obviously we don't know what the extent of the issue is yet, but afaik there has never been an AWS incident that has affected multiple regions where an application had been designed to use them (like using region specific S3 endpoints). GCP and Azure have had issues in multiple regions that would have affected applications designed for multi-region.
