Title is incorrect, this is not a general outage. There are two separate issues:

europe-west-9 (Paris) has been physically flooded with water somehow and is hard down. This is obviously bad if you're using the region in question, but has zero impact elsewhere. https://status.cloud.google.com/incidents/dS9ps52MUnxQfyDGPf...

There is a separate issue stopping changes to HTTP load balancers across most of GCP, but it has no impact on serving and they're rolling out a fix already. https://status.cloud.google.com/incidents/uSjFxRvKBheLA4Zr5q...

It seems that it went back to normal except for Paris

I love how well google cloud status reflects real life.

At least Paris is red, what's the last time you saw more than a green dot with a little exclamation mark on the AWS status page?

Water intrusion in europe-west9-a has caused a multi-cluster failure and has led to an emergency shutdown of multiple zones. We expect general unavailability of the europe-west9 region https://twitter.com/GCP_Incidents

How large is the flood? How far away are these zones?

It happened at GlobalSwitch Clichy, near Paris. From what I gathered from a french forum[1], it started with a flood and then a fire. No rooms have been affected, apparently.

I'm not sure if it's a separate issue but I've had trouble creating new VM instances in Google Cloud Console or listing GPU types using their CLI and I'm in europe-west-2. The ticket I was following originally got merged with the Paris flood ticket (by Google). It was working until midnight (London) last night but went down before 8am before recovering about 1h ago for me. Not sure why an outage at one regional data centre can affect services elsewhere in the zone. Perhaps it's when pooling together meta data from different data centers for listing options?
