It seems crazy to me that Google Cloud can have this level of instability but I, on the other hand, can never remember google.com going down.
Why are they operating one with a different networking infrastructure from the other?
- chupasaurus 7y agoAFAIK google.com is running independently on a different infrastructure, but some of other services are relying on GCP hence the problem affects them too.
- sakisv 7y agoThey did have a major outage for a few minutes on 2013: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/08/17/google_outage/ https://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/08/17/google_outage/
- escapecharacter 7y agoSo this is now the longest outage ever, right?
- savrajsingh 7y agoSounds like a good design — but in the early days of google cloud — 2008 — you’d get the google homepage on a bad request
- vl 7y agoIt's completely different mode of failure - when part of search is down somewhere, it's just routed to the same service in other location. If part of the GCP is down anywhere, some customers are affected. Since original Google infrastructure was developed specifically for first kind of services, cloud org still has problems adopting it to its needs.
