Google Cloud Platform is down

The biggest problem is the global load balancer being down, all services are unreachable until it's fixed.

I thought GKE was internet scale? /s

In all seriousness, this is the first significant outage we’ve experienced with GCP in a year. We keep moving more and more ancillary services over to them.

There were a lot of smaller outages in Q1. This must be the 2018 Cloud Next push.

Just in time for Google Cloud Next coming up in a week or so.

Well this is gonna be a fun day at work…

Looks like it's coming back soon

Jul 17, 2018 12:53 The issue with Google Cloud Load balancers returning 502s should be resolved for majority of users and we expect a full resolution in the near future. We will provide another status update by Tuesday, 2018-07-17 13:30 US/Pacific with current details.

And as usual for cloud services the status page is saying everything is fine!

Edit: there it goes after 15 mins

Seems to slowly grow in redness, 3 services officially affected according to the status page now.

> We are investigating a problem with Google Cloud Global Loadbalancers returning 502s for many services including AppEngine, Stackdriver, Dialogflow

Cloud Functions too, I suppose because they use load balancers.

Apparently this might be affecting ability to auth into other services? I cannot log in to Netlify using Github/Gitlab at the moment

Our services have just become available again, initial downtime starting at 20:25 GMT, uptime returning at 20:56 GMT.

Looks like this caused the Spotify and Snapchat outages.

Discord down as well because of it.

Pokemon GO outage

Unfortunate right before Google Next event...
