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

Why can't companies be honest with being down. It helps us all out so we don't spend an hour internalizing. We are truly in gods hands. $ prod Fetching cluster endpoint and auth data.

Super duper frustrating having the status page being green. Why can't Google do this properly?

Looks like I'm about to start learning which of my time-killing websites are hosted on GCP - The Ringer is down, and since Spotify owns them and is a major GCP customer, it looks like they've been hit by this. CRAZY that the GCP status page is still green.

Because there are contracts related to uptime :)

Those contracts will be monitoring their service availability on their own. If Google can't be honest you can bet your bottom dollar the companies paying for that SLA are going to hold them accountable if they report the outage properly or not.

Does any service even say they're "down" anymore? All I see is "elevated error rates".

4 to 6 hours after the flames are visible from orbit and management has finally given up on the 37th quick fix you do get that red X

But really not until after it's been on CNN a while.

Does anyone know if it's region-specific? We're experiencing it and are in us-west-1.

Can confirm us-east1 (and possibly us-south1) are having VPC host reachability problems.
