The status page is green, but there are outages reported: https://downdetector.com/status/google-cloud/

Aren't some of these sites partially based on hits (because of the assumption that if enough people are suddenly googling "Is youtube down", then youtube must be having some sort of issue.

I could see a big outage like this causing people to google "Is AWS down?"

I'm actually on a bridge call with Google Cloud, we're a large customer -- I just learned today that their status page is not automated, instead someone actually manually updates it!

This feels very much like when facebook, locked themselves out of their datacenters. ;) * https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/facebook-blames-m...

Except that AWS, CloudFlare and a bunch others are also down :-O

So even then, it should have been able to correctly report the status, it somehow shows that the status page is not automated and any change there needs to go through someone manual.

the services ARE healthy, status page is correct. The backbone which links YOU to the service isn't healthy. Take a look at cloudflare, they are already working on it

Not even close. The status page is manual and cloud flares outage is because of Google not the other way around.

So’s Azure? https://downdetector.com/status/windows-azure/ This is where we get to learn about the one common system all of our “distributed cloud” systems rely on, isn’t it?

My gut says all clouds spike when one goes down from people misreporting issues.

But I suppose there's always "something something BGP" but that feels less likely.
