In the past ten years: It’s happened more than once with Azure and GCP. I think it happened once with AWS, but not positive there.

- dodobirdlord 7y agoAWS had a multi-hour total S3 outage in us-east-1 in February 2017 that knocked out a huge number of things mostly because it turns out that a huge share of their customers run in only 1 region and it's us-east-1. Things mostly continued to work in other regions. I recall Azure had some sort of multi-region database failover disaster that took several regions offline, and GCP has had several global elevated latency/error rate events, but I don't think that any cloud provider has been "down" in the sense that the word is usually used.
- jsjohnst 7y agoGCP (and all of Google) was down worldwide in 2013 as one example: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/08/17/google_outage/ https://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/08/17/google_outage/ Here’s one that’s on Azure. Not a 100% total outage like above, but bad enough most I know in the industry would call it being down: https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-azure-suffers-worldwide-outage/ https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-azure-suffers-worldwid... If I get a free moment, I’ll dig up other examples, but those were ones that were easy to find.
