So what Google services went down with this? looks like they are not eating their own dog food?

  may be the things like gmail have multicloud failover, say to AWS?

  Google is self-hosted, but they might not use the same hardware GCE uses.

    different hardware isn't really part of the equation - it's more that most of google's internal systems aren't _on_ gce, but _adjacent to_ gce. There's a cloud beneath that cloud, so to speak.

    most of google does not run on google cloud.

  A lot of Google's own services predate these public offerings. So my guess is even if they're on the same or similar technologies, they may be separate systems.

  Has Amazon.com ever been affected by a AWS outage? edit: at least it's impacted some of their ancillary services before http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/09/20/aws_database_outage/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/09/20/aws_database_outage/

    Amazon.com depends on AWS but not all the services and not necessarily in the critical path of serving up pages on the main website. E.g. All the servers run on EC2 but they don't really use ELB or EBS. S3 is used heavily throughout the company but some of the newer services not so much.
