Cloudflare is down too. From https://www.cloudflarestatus.com:

Seems like a major wtf if Cloudflare is using GCP as a key dependency.

    Some day Cloudflare will depend on GCP and GCP will depend on Cloudflare and AWS will rely on one of the two being online and Cloudflare will also depend on AWS and the internet will go down and no one will know how to restart it

      Supposedly something like this already happened inside Google. There's a distributed data store for small configs read frequently. There's another for larger configs that are rarely read. The small data store depends on a service that depends on the large data store. The large data store depends on the small data store.

      Supposedly there are plans for how to conduct a "cold" start of the system, but as far as I know it's never actually been tried.
