Wait: seriously, a 1.5 hour multi-region GCE outage just last night? That would be huge, how is it that we haven't heard about this? The linked /16015 status report doesn't have much information.
The incident report isn't done yet, so please be patient as the team finalizes the root cause and next steps. However, it didn't affect all routes, VMs, etc. and you'll see that when they publish the IR next week.
Gartner report in the last week or two pointed out that Amazon is way in the lead with more cloud capacity than all the other providers combined.
The top two clouds are AWS and Azure. When either of those have major incidents you hear about it all over twitter etc. because that's a large user base that gets impacted. Google is in third place (according to them), but dramatically far behind. They do praise Google's big data tools, but point out even then people use AWS for most stuff and Google just for their big data bits.
I think partially due to the timing - 12-2AM PT vs 6-7PM on April 11. Google hasn't provided specifics - but our VMs in every region were 100% inaccessible during that period.
