I've not seen any mention of 2 serious Google Cloud outages in the last week. Which seems unusual, considering the typical relevance to the HN crowd.<p>Additionally, it seriously affected 37 signals, who are the creators of Basecamp and Ruby on Rails, and are one of the more high profile tech successes.<p>In the blogpost DHH (the creator of Rails) calls into question their approach to moving to the Cloud, their sudden decline from 5 nines to 2 nines of availability, and the failure of their risk management in terms of cloud operations.<p>I find it quite surprising and concerning, that Google Cloud has had 2 such major outages so close together.<p><a href="https://status.cloud.google.com/" rel="nofollow">https://status.cloud.google.com/</a>
