Incident affecting Google cloud in Europe-west9
status.cloud.google.comWater intrusion?
Is it raining a lot in Paris?
From the information I gathered, this is an incident in the GlobalSwitch datacenter in Paris.
The cooling system leaked, and this started a fire in an electrical room.
The big issue here is that one Datacenter failure brought the whole region down, this is very abnormal.
Yes, there seems to be a design flaw here. There should be no SPOF in region design.
