Sounds like a small scale outage, I wouldn't use that headline TBH. Amazon wouldn't even report something like this. We get various small outages from AWS every few weeks, and it doesn't even show up on their dashboards.

This would explain the "phones are down" messages I have been getting. It apparently resolved before I was able to get to a terminal. us-central1-f if anyone is interested.

We did see some http errors and latency spikes on our servers at us-central-1c but it lasted for a minute or so, without any downtime.

Have no idea if other regions or users had major issues though.

All good on us-west

Well architected applications be like... so what :|

All good on us-east

Google cloud engine doesn't even exist. Google cloud is a platform that provides a product called Compute Engine. I use it. it isn't down.

a small subset of instances, from a single region are affected.

you're all idiots.
