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?

I was referring to how things being “back to normal except for Paris” is a common occurrence here in Europe

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...

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…

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. [1]: https://lafibre.info/datacenter/incendie-maitrise-globalswit...

Cooling pump failure lead to water leaking into the UPS room. Batteries caught fire and firefighters can't access the room. Fire is contained although.

(this was at ~10-11 am GMT+2 time)

Edit:

Fire is extinguished (~3pm GMT+2)
