It sure feels like there have been quite a few big outages this summer (Google in particular). I wonder if they are getting sloppy or this is just bad luck?

Maybe memorising algorithms from a textbook does not translate to great system engineering and SRE skills? Who would have thought.

I'm glad you have a good handle on the data about the predictive power Google interviews have about the individuals.

Can you share the data?

I can't login to my business gmail account using Google Chrome, but I can login successfully using Internet Explorer and Firefox. Duh. :-)

Chrome in incognito mode seems to work as well.

I like the majority of GCP products I work with, but judging by the amount of issues in the past year, GCP feels amateurish compared to AWS, which we continue to user in order to host most mission critical operations.

I cant access any of my Airflow clusters atm. :/

Google often has a outage or two around this time of the year when all the US schools come back and millions of students log in at the same time.

Says something that they know the what, where, when, and why, but the still don't (or won't) prevent it.

Eh, I was stating a fact, don't understand why it got down voted.

Google only hires the best of the best.

This is one of our favorite jokes internally, often invoked when new signage is put up to clarify how trashcans work or the like.

Just as I was implementing and testing high-priority Google SSO changes at work... it goes down :-)

same. and also thought that i broke it.

btw never saw 500 from G before, usually just timeouts during outages

Sounds pretty anecdotal. Can you back up this claim?

It's a matter of cost.

It's a temporary spike of traffic far outside of average use.

In order to handle it, they'd need a lot of resources that just aren't justifiable for the rest of the year.

You seem similar things when places sell highly desired items in online stores.

We run a app making millions of API calls to Google every day, so they show up in our monitoring, even if they don't make the status page. It's a pattern I've noticed from getting paged at 3am (NZ time) this time of year going back the last 4 years, I don't have hard data at hand for it though. It's not the same thing every year either - this time OAuth got hit hard, previously we've mostly seen slowdowns and higher error rates on the Drive APIs.
