Yes it's dead, DPD IT confirmed it was down as their services aren't running due to it but no status reports from google yet, weird

stephenheron•3h ago

Yup, a few of our services are having "difficulties".....

According to Google it's a power outage in the London DC. Power is now restored and they are bringing up the networking.

jack7e•3h ago

Nice; thanks for the update, how did you find that out.

gfto•3h ago

Got updates from our google reps.

Thanks for the update, better than we're getting. Shockingly bad comms - down for 3 hours and "we're looking into it" is all we can see.

Dunno why a power outage wasn't contained to a zone. The whole region seems to be down. Not the first time Google Cloud have had troubles with blast-radius of their incidents.

We have workloads up on a & c so I think it is contained to the b zone.

Our engineering team continues to investigate the issue.

> We apologize to all who are affected by the disruption.

Yeah. It is rather mad the global health page is fine. But the page in the console actually shows an outage.

It's finally been updated: https://status.cloud.google.com/incidents/Xs2XTHzAVC9YnafnPy...

Way too slow for the scale of the outage.

alphalima•2h ago

Yep, I'm pretty sure it was just b, we've got nothing running there now. Annoyingly one of our DBs failed to start after failover, so we're running around now.

azuanrb•2h ago

They just acknowledged it. Been down for ~2 hours on our end
