Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud (but disclaimer, I'm on vacation and so not much use to you!). We're having what appears to be a serious networking outage. It's disrupting everything, including unfortunately the tooling we usually use to communicate across the company about outages. There are backup plans, of course, but I wanted to at least come here to say: you're not crazy, nothing is lost (to those concerns do…

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.

Some services are still impacted globally. Gmail over IMAP is unreachable for me. (Edit: gmail web is fine)

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.

AWS has better customer service and I don’t remember the last time there was a huge outage like this besides the S3 outage

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.

I know a consultant who calls that region us-tirefire-1.

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"

I remember when S3 was down and the status was green because the updates for the status page with pushed via S3.

I guess we know what steam uses (the store at least).

I don't know about Steam, but I know Apple must use Google Cloud: https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/

Guess they don't eat their own dog food; no racks of proprietary Apple servers anywhere (unless they somehow run Darwin images in Google Cloud)
