a couple years back, they redesigned their status page, making it incredibly hard to find outages and history https://status.cloud.google.com/ Thank Thomas Kurain for this, he brought the Oracle ethos to Google Cloud, it's been downhill ever since https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Kurian

Can confirm, ew-2 is blown. VPC, cloud sql, filestore, gcs, everything worth a damn is dead

This might also be affecting the Revolut outage.

affecting DPD services due to the google outage, no major reports from google though strangely even though DPD IT confirmed it was down.

Confirm we have Cloud Run and Managed Airflow services down in ew-2 and unable to start since ~7:06 BST. We saw a momentary blip in Cloud SQL but that seemed to fix itself almost immediately for us, we got lucky I suppose based on other comments here. Another HN thread mentioned their Google rep said the cause is a power outage [1] which is being resolved. [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50162855

We've been told by our DPD account rep that it was some kind of google update that failed, according to what google is telling DPD

Seems to have been down since about 7AM BST. And has taken down Revolut: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cxdd8mm6qy4mo

FYI: we've been having problems connecting to the db all this time, but that's been fixed now
