I guess 2023 came early.


I don't get why they don't just host this on AWS, it would have far better reliability.


Bonus points on the resume!

“Successfully performed, large scale, real-world testing of future company policy”.


Hello folks, this is @ahmetb from Google. Our teams are currently investigating and hope to have it resolved soon. From what I can tell, this appears to be a regional network issue for customers around Bulgaria (and I've seen Turkey reported online, as well). It seems to have been mitigated, if you're still hitting this outage, it would help mentioning where you're connecting from.


What am I missing? Their status page says "This is fine".


This is what happens when a status page becomes a marketing tool that you can use in a powerpoint presentation in order to assess “reliability” when choosing a vendor instead of something that you can actually rely on for monitoring purposes.


All Google services are down in Eastern Europe and Turkey. Cloud Status page also not accessible.


Ditto. Also my DNS service runs on GCP and I don't see any problems with it either.


This was posted half an hour ago and the services are already up. Why do people keep posting all these "<service> is down"? We know the Internet works on best-effort, so these posts are completely worthless unless there's something major going on.



Good at making weirdo awesome internal tools that can scale incredibly and solve problems like BigTable/Kubernetes but then suck at delivering it as a service to those outside of Google.

Amazon/Microsoft figured it out already.


Everything google is down here. Great, my phone will blow up from alarms any second now...

Edit: This is trying to access it from Bulgaria, I have no issues from my servers in Germany.


It is down in some regions. I can access only with US VPN.
