GCP status page is worthless as it's always happy and green when production systems are down and then they might acknowledge something an hour later
Just like AWS, then. "Some users are experiencing increased error rates" = "Everything has been down for hours"

>nothing is lost except time
Can't use my Nest lock to let guests into my house. I'm pretty sure their infrastructure is hosted in Google Cloud. So yeah... definitely some stuff lost.

And the illusion of superiority over non cloud offerings.
How come?
We're hosting an open global Zoom call for all engineers affected by the outage, join us at https://zoom.us/j/793450725
One click on this link and it instantly starts streaming your webcam footage to everyone in the chat room.
As soon as I clicked that link, the client downloaded a PKG file, installed itself and launched itself without asking me if I wanted to share my camera or audio.
I uninstalled according to their instructions again, searched for all "zoom" files in my disk and rebooted.
This leads me to believe that following their uninstall instructions is insufficient, and there are hidden files left on my computer.
Sorry in advance for the off topic message

To clarify something: this outage doesn’t appear to be global, but it is hitting us particularly hard in parts of the US. So for the folks with working VMs in Mumbai, you’re not crazy. But for everyone with sadness in us-central1, the team is on it.
It seems global to me. This is really strange compared to AWS. I don't remember an outage there (other than s3) impacting instances or networking globally.

I can see my GKE clusters in one region but not in another, so I am guessing it's the former.
Looks like we'll need a cluster in each region going forward...

> like using region specific S3 endpoints AWS had the S3 incident affecting all of us-east-1: “Other AWS services in the US-EAST-1 Region that rely on S3 for storage, including the S3 console, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) new instance launches, Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes (when data was needed from a S3 snapshot), and AWS Lambda were also impacted while the S3 APIs were unavailable.” https://aws.am…
That's one region, not the multiple region that OP mentioned
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.
When the mainframe is down terminals are useless.
