I'm sorry, but this is the price you pay for running your business that is dependent TOTALLY on a 3rd party service. Forget Google, everyone out there is most likely the same, that's why it's important for you to run your 'apps' on something you have control over - Like Linode, AWS, Rackspace, Openshift, etc. and also have back-up nodes from other providers for redundancy, for emergency situations, incase of storms, etc. I would recommend trying your apps on OpenStack (Openshift in particular), which doesn't have the vendor lock-in, which you face right now.

God DAMN it, I'm sick of seeing this comment anytime a service goes down or basically anything anywhere has a problem of any sort. We depend on third parties, all of us, to some extent. Stop it!

Interesting comment. When AWS went down in the US, devops rightly said "we told you to run your apps on something you have control over."

  More relevant would be "where's your DR site?"

  What's that? A server I own on a rack I own in a datacenter I own on a power factory I own and a telco I own? "Having control over" something is a scale, it's not binary.

    Indeed, I was trying to say it is all relative.

      Sure, but it's a tradeoff. No need for devops vs no control over outages.

The Openshift looks quite promising as a PaaS. If anything goes wrong with RH you can just move your app to other host or even your own hardware.
