30K Websites Down After Google Cloud Outage
• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Tyler DurdenHere's Google Cloud Status Dashboard laying out the errors.
The outage has left 29k website offline worldwide.
Downdector reports dozens of major websites began experiencing disruptions or outages around 1240 ET. Users are saying AWS and Google Cloud are down and could be the culprit behind the widespread outage.
Websites such as Spotify, Etsy, Snapchat, Discord, Google, Target, Google Cloud, and AWS, among others, are experiencing disruptions or outages.
According to a Cloudflare status update, "it is investigating issues with the logging component within Gateway. Gateway's logging may be impacted. We are working to understand the full impact and mitigate this problem. More updates to follow shortly."
Cloudflare provides DNS and CDN (content delivery network) services and powers for about 40% of the internet. If one of the company's networks goes down, like what happened in July, widespread disruptions are seen.
