This was my first thought too. Shows how Google has trained us to expect the worst from them...
TBH, GCP isn't operating like Google does. I'm a long time customer and have only good things to tell so far.
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... There is a separate issue stopping changes to HTTP load balancers across most of GCP, but it ha…
Wait it's not DNS for a change?

So this is probably too soon, thoughts and prayers for the datacenter operators and staff out there, but are they going to auction off the flooded hardware? Trying to restore a flooded Google rack sounds like a super fun project. Anyone experience with losing an entire DC to flooding? edit: I just Googled it (lol) and this DC has to be brand spanking new ( https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/infrastructure/google.…
I'm not sure what the disk encryption story is in Google Cloud but I'd rather it didn't end up on Ebay. Mind you, "flooded" covers a wide range of possibilities and a surprisingly small amount of water ingress would trip a breaker while leaving the racks in good order.

Restoration is hard when health and safety are in question. Good luck to these ops folks [1] https://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2008/06/01/expl...

If that were the case they wouldn't be saying "There is no current ETA for recovery," and "it is expected to be an extended outage. Customers are advised to failover to other regions."

I once was a customer of a DC who's roof drainage was clogged, turning it into a lake after a couple of rain storms. It then proceeded to rain inside the DC as the roof started to leak from all the pressure. "Servers are down, I'll head over to the DC" turned into "Um... it's raining _in the DC_. Get me some tarps and get us cut over to the backup in the office". Ah, the glory days of running out of a single co-lo ac…
