On: Google Cloud Is Down

Edit: and I agree!

I’m not in SRE so I don’t bother with all the backup modes (direct IRC channel, phone lines, “pagers” with backup numbers). I don’t think the networking SRE folks are as impacted in their direct communication, but they are (obviously) not able to get the word out as easily.

Still, it seems reasonable to me to use tooling for most outages that relies on “the network is fine overall”, to optimize for the common case.

Note: the status dashboard now correctly highlights (Edit: with a banner at the top) that multiple things are impacted because Networking. The Networking outage is the root cause.

This is a person who's trying to help out while on vacation...can we try being more thankful, and not nitpick everything they say?

Thanks! I’ll leave this here as evidence that I should rightfully reduce my days off by 1 :).

The banner at the top. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.

While not exactly google cloud, G suite dashboard seems accurate: https://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en&v=status

For me, at least, that was showing as all green for at least 30 minutes.
