Not much different from AWS, from what I've heard.

Definitely the case. Neither are super great at this. One issue is that issues that may 100% impact individual clients may only impact a vanishingly small amount of their overall service load. That mismatch between customer and provider experience is one of the ugly aspects of public cloud providers.

Also, it's one which gets hugely understated when people "move to the cloud".

especially if you use your bussiness for B2B services. Stuff like this could make you loose your bussiness, especially if some entity like google doesn't communicate and as a result, you do not have a answer for your own customers.

Medium sized private cloud providers are a lot better at this, considering the communication lines are a lot shorter.

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.

I find GCP quicker to post status updates about issues than AWS, but GCP also seems to run into more problems that span across multiple regions.

I'm overall happy with it, but if I needed to run a service with a 99.95% uptime SLA or higher, I wouldn't rely solely on GCP.

GCP has been down since 11:50am and they acked it 35 mins later. They're great at leaving their customers in the dark.

Yeah, Amazon is the master of having their status page read all Green while half of US-East is in the toilet
