Status page is inaccurate as issues doesn't only affect the web UI, the same operations are not functioning via the CLI.

What operations? Status just shows node pool creation.

Can not create a new Clusters or Node Pool and can not resize exiting Node Pools, as far as users are reporting it's happening in all regions too.

Error message when creating a new Cluster:

Deploy error: Not all instances running in IGM after 35m7.509000994s. Expect 1. Current errors: [ZONE_RESOURCE_POOL_EXHAUSTED]: Instance 'gke-cluster-3-pool-1-41b0abf8-73d7' creation failed: The zone 'projects/url-shortner-218503/zones/us-west2-b' does not have enough resources available to fulfill the request. Try a different zone, or try again later. - ; .

Doesn’t GKE “just” run an independent Kubernetes cluster on customer VMs? How is a widespread outage like this possible?

GKE does the creation of the VMs and setup of them, joining them to the cluster and applying labels for example.

The specific issue appears to be about creating new "node pools". Creating standard VMs in GCP works fine however, so this is specific to GKE and their internal tooling that integrates with the rest of GCP.

GKE doesn't (at least to my knowledge) allow you to create VMs separately and join them to the cluster in any kind of easy fashion.
