That feeling when you open https://console.cloud.google.com and see that you don't have your Kubernetes clusters and CloudSQL databases, but CTA to create first.

Gosh, this was so scary... I thought someone had hacked in and deleted everything... I hope they come back. This is still pretty scary

Same, my Manager called my and said "everything is down".

So I wander over to my Firebase console, and there's no database loading. Thank god for twitter, and people also saying that they have the same issue or I would have for sure though we've been hacked.

I hope this is a good wake up call for everyone. I know that I'm going to think more about how we do backups and fail-safes

Confirming issues on our end. I'm able to load up my console but when I go to Kubernetes Engine, I don't see my clusters. I'm monitoring closely on twitter

Took me a while to track latency issues to GCP. Wasn't expecting it. This also seems to affect some GAE instances and some of their products like google photos. At least according to my observations

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.

GCP is incredibly bad at communicating when there are problems with their systems. Just terrible. Its only when our apps start to break that we notice something is down, then look at the green dashboard which is even more infuriating.
