@googlecloud Many GCP incidents... Like the AWS DNS error.. GCP is just as vulnerable
🙄
Such Errors..
GCP incidents (e.g., 2014, 2020, 2025) traced to human/config errors in core systems like authentication or load balancing, amplified into a global cascade of outages for services like Snapchat, Discord, Twitch, and Fitbit: users were unable to stream, chat, or sync their data.
Google Workspace apps (including Gmail, Calendar, Meet, and Docs). These apps power daily workflows for hundreds of millions of users.
The failure was just as acute for enterprise and developer tools:
GitLab, Replit, Shopify, Elastic, LangChain, and other platforms relying on GCP services saw degraded performance, timeouts, or complete shutdowns.
Thousands of CI/CD pipelines, model serving endpoints, and API backends stalled or failed outright.
Vertex AI, BigQuery, Cloud Functions, and Google Cloud Storage were all affected, halting data processing and AI operations.
📑 Here are some of the largest-scale incidents in history:
1. "Dyn" outage (2016) Which is the only entry on this list that was the result of a cyberattack
2. "Amazon Web Services" (2017)
3. "Verizon/BGP" (2019)
4. "Google" (2020)
5. "Fastly" (2021)
6. "Meta" (2021)
7. "Rogers Communications" (2022)
8. "CrowdStrike" (2024)
