#212At this point Amazon and Google should just have a static page with green buttons for their status page.
They NEVER show red, or oddly even go down themselves during outages. ( Last time amazon went down springs to mind).

#213GCP seems to be down as well.

#214Some stuff works if you are unauthenticated.

#215I’m seeing poor internet performance overall, even accessing HN...too many relying on Google DNS maybe? Even ISPs?

#216It's super interesting that all Google services that I've tried are down _except_ for Google Search. What would isolate Search from the rest of Google's products such that it wouldn't be affected by a mass outage like this?
It is something related to authentication. Even YouTube works without being logged in

#217All Google services down in Sénégal as well.

#218210 points in 5 minutes. 500 in 10. Seems everyone see's the status page and is like "hey, time to check hn" ;-) EDIT: You can permanently refresh and see the score increase by 2-3 points each second. Wow. EDIT 2: 1800 after one hour, but a few points were probably lost due to HN downtime. Being quick to post is important, guys;-)
I feel like HN's server aren't very happy with everybody doing this though.
Stop bullying the servers :(

#219So, anybody still feel like arguing that 'the cloud' is a viable back-up? Or is that a sore point right now? Just for a moment imagine: what if it never comes back again? Of course it will, - at least, it better - but what if it doesn't? And if it does, are you going to take countermeasures in case it happens again or is it just going to be 'back to normal' again?
Whatever data I have backed up in the cloud is synced across multiple devices that I use. Even if the cloud disappeared altogether, I still have it. The cloud allows me to keep an up to date copy across various devices.

#220Google Cloud outage? Looks like Discord is down too. Might be a coincidence.
