Fair, but I have friends on the west coast who were similarly impacted, while I am in the South. So it seems inaccurate to say it impacted a small number of use

  > However, for users who rely on services homed in the affected regions, the impact was substantial, particularly for services like YouTube or Google Cloud Storage which use large amounts of network bandwidth to operate. The post admits that. It clearly says that the impact on users in affected regions was significant but that some regions were barely affected. It would've been nice if they mentioned what regions. But beside that, what's the problem?

    Can wait for confirmation, wichert's comment on the original thread[1] (that I can't link to directly for some reason) mentions the gcloud listing these regions as affected: " gcloud tells me: WARNING: The following zones did not respond: us-west2, us-west2-a, southamerica-east1-c, us-west2-b, southamerica-east1, us-east4-b, us-east4, us-east4-a, northamerica-northeast1-c, northamerica-northeast1-b, us-west2-c, southamerica-east1-b, northamerica-northeast1, southamerica-east1-a, northamerica-northeast1-a, us-east4-c. List results may be incomplete. Luckily for us eu-west1 seems to be working normally." So the user's outside these zones may have been unaffected, but if this is accurate it is a large number of users affected [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20077421 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20077421
