There go the nine nines for this year? Is it more like four nines or so now?

The small bare metal hosting company I use for some projects hardly goes down, and when there is an issue, I can actually get a human being on the phone in 2 minutes. Plus, a bare metal server with tons of RAM costs less than a small VM on the big cloud providers.
> a bare metal server with tons of RAM costs less than a small VM on the big cloud providers Who are you getting this steal of a deal from?
Hetzner is an example. Been using them for years and it's been a solid experience so far. OVH should be able to match them, and there's others, I'm sure.

#293There goes 3 nines for June and for Q2. I guess everyone gets a 10% discount for the month? https://cloud.google.com/compute/sla
Ironically, the SLA page returns a 502 error.

#294Ah, wonder if this is affecting Google's SSO. It was super slow when I was trying it just now.

#295You know this reminds me of a bad taste that Google Sales team left when I asked for some of my billing that I was unaware of running after following a quickstart guide. AWS refunded me in the first reply on the same day! GCP sales rep just copy pasted a link to a self support survey that essentially told me, after a series of YES or NO questions that they can't refund me. So why not just tell your customers like it…

#296Anyone 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
There was a terribly day 2-3 months back in us-west-2 where CloudWatch went down for a couple of hours and took out AutoScaling with it, causing a bunch of services like DynamoDB and EC2 to improperly scale in tables and clusters, and then 12 hours later Lambda went down for a couple of hours, degrading or disabling a bunch of other AWS services.

I don't know about Steam, but I know Apple must use Google Cloud: https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
Less than 1% of users are affected Is there any reason to presume these statuses are correlated? Apple's issue is > Users may be experiencing slower than normal performance with this service.
I'm just assuming they are because it's been previously reported that Apple uses GCP (and also AWS).

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.
EUW doesn't seem to be affected.

#299It seems crazy to me that Google Cloud can have this level of instability but I, on the other hand, can never remember google.com going down. Why are they operating one with a different networking infrastructure from the other?
Sounds like a good design — but in the early days of google cloud — 2008 — you’d get the google homepage on a bad request
