If it’s a single availability zone (which I presume west2-a is), then why are so many services down and recommending moving to other regions?

- longwave 4y agoI hope there is a public postmortem that explains this. I have Cloud SQL instances with high availability enabled that have been down for over 5 hours with no workaround, when (according to docs) they should have failed over to the unaffected zones within minutes.

We have VMs across three zones, but anything stateful on zone a is stranded, we can't get the volumes back. It's not just that the zone is down, it's that services are not easy to fail out of the impacted zone or move that's the problem. Kind on implies regional isn't good enough to secure high availability. You need multi regional deployments. Good luck with that when the bill comes due.
