There was an outage August 19th, 2019 - almost 1 year ago to the day. As I posted at the time:
"Google often has a outage or two around this time of the year when all the US schools come back and millions of students log in at the same time."<p>My pet theory wasn't too popular but I'm going to stick with it :)<p>1- <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20740997" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20740997</a>
The status from Google Cloud status page offers a bit more technical details of what happened:<p>"We are experiencing an issue with Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) clusters using node auto-provisioning becoming stuck during node version upgrades. Node auto-upgrades have been disabled temporarily."<p><a href="https://status.cloud.google.com/" rel="nofollow">https://status.cloud.google.com/</a>
I'm guessing this outage will allow GSuite customers to claim Service Credits under the SLA - does anyone have any experience with doing so? Google's documentation is lacking in detail[0].<p>[0] <a href="https://gsuite.google.com/intl/en/terms/sla.html" rel="nofollow">https://gsuite.google.com/intl/en/terms/sla.html</a>
Incident says it's affecting anything that uses Cloud Storage, which I'm guessing is most things.<p><a href="https://status.cloud.google.com/incident/zall/20007" rel="nofollow">https://status.cloud.google.com/incident/zall/20007</a><p>Edit: New incident number <a href="https://status.cloud.google.com/incident/zall/20008" rel="nofollow">https://status.cloud.google.com/incident/zall/20008</a>
Gmail is practically unusable at the moment. It's been going on for a while too, so I'm interested in the post mortem for this.<p>I'm in Sydney, Australia.
Was greeted by this just as we started work. Observations so far: Reading and receiving emails via the Gmail web UI works, sending emails via the web UI doesn't work, sending emails via SMTP works.
Gmail accessible via IMAP at $undisclosed_location. SMTP send works, but sent messages reappear in the inbox rather than in sent mail.<p>Haven't tested the Gmail web interface. I don't use it.
I'm not that interested in a dashboard, but I'd bee interested in reading the post-mortem. Since they have paying customers for these products, they might release that.
