Google Cloud Services Face Outage in London, Revolut Services Down Too
- On Tuesday, Google Cloud confirmed a major outage in Europe affecting Western Europe, with multiple services including BigQuery Data TransferService, Cloud Run, and Google Kubernetes Engine experiencing elevated errors and network failures.
- The disruption stems from an issue within a local availability zone in London designed to protect against hardware failures, creating cascading effects for non-high-availability services and causing DNS connectivity problems.
- DownDetector reports widespread impacts for major customers including Lloyds Bank, HSBC, DPD, and Screwfix, while digital bank Revolut confirmed that customer money and data remain safe despite the disruption.
- Frustrated users vented on Twitter and Reddit, with one describing the "Major GCP incident affecting Europe regions" as a difficult start to the day, while Techies warned of cascading supplier impacts.
- This incident mirrors similar disruptions at Amazon Web Services and Cloudflare in recent years, illustrating centralized infrastructure risks; heavy reliance on few tech firms means a single outage disrupts vast internet swathes.
