Configuration errors, record-setting summer heat in the U.K. and ‘an act of vandalism’ were among the culprits affecting cloud use this year.
January Google Cloud Outage
Google started the year with three hours and 22 minutes of increased latency on Jan. 8 at its U.S. West 1B region in Oregon. The outage lasted from 2:15 p.m. Pacific to 5:36 p.m. Pacific.
The cause for the outage was “a routine maintenance event” performed on a software-defined networking (SDN) component and a checkpoint with missing configuration information being reconciled. A subsequent crashing of switches meant on-call engineers had to conduct repairs.
The incident affected the Mountain View, Calif.-based company’s services including Google Cloud Networking, Google Cloud DNS, Cloud Run, Cloud Spanner and Google Compute Engine, according to the company.
