AWS is often the same way. No one seems to be good at communicating outage details.

I suspect there's a correlation between outages that are easy to detect and communicate and outages that automation can recover from so easily that you hardly notice.

Nice overview : https://downdetector.com/

I see a lot of Nest complaints, isn't there any security issue if Nest goes down?

I see people complain about Nest and the only thing I can think of is "what on earth where you thinking to have a door or thermostat that doesn't function without internet?!"

I just can't reach google apps on my HTC m9 since yesterday. I am in West Africa. My Whatsapp crashed too and I lost all my previous threads. Is my issue related to Cloud being down?

The two Google Cloud networking incidents are: Incident #19008 began at 2019-06-02 12:48. https://status.cloud.google.com/incident/cloud-networking/19... Incident #19009 began at 2019-06-02 12:53. https://status.cloud.google.com/incident/cloud-networking/19... Times are US/Pacific

dang et al.: I’d make 19009 the URL for this (GCE Just reported first, but this is an outage / networking issue in the Eastern US).

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

I swear most status pages are run by folks who aren't "there".

I haven’t written a status page in a while, but the rest of my infrastructure starts freaking out if it hasn’t heard from a service in a while. Why doesn’t their status page have at least a warning about things not looking good?

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.

You obviously don't recall the early years of AWS. Half of internet would go down for hours.

Always in Virginia, because US-east has always been cheaper.
