What they haven't published is their definition of downtime. With close to 200 million users globally, how many have to be affected and for how long before it's considered an outage? If you're a business customer with 20,000 users and you regularly have one or two suffering the 24hr account outage for maintenance, it's a tiny percentage of Google's population but if it's the wrong individuals it can wreak havoc.
- brown9-2 16y agoSounds to me like they're counting up all requests in total and determining which of them experienced some issues, and then labeling that downtime. The translation into minutes is really in a different type of units. The fact that they're including delays of just a few seconds is what makes me think this.
