Yes, but Google takes this to another level, all their load balancers are one single giant point of failure.

Or, just use AWS, where each region is almost entirely independent (some specific APIs are global by their nature, like creating a new S3 bucket), but you shouldn't be using those APIs on your run-path.
Yes, it is less convenient (and it must be less convenient for AWS to build things this way than for Google who seem to prioritise their development experience over customer availability), but new features from AWS are making it easier to deploy to multiple regions and use cross-region failover.
