Google is claiming the root cause is with some of their central IAM services, which would have a cascading effect to the rest of their services.","comments":[{"id":44261883,"user":"devmor","time":1749755513,"time_ago":"2 days ago","type":"comment","content":"

Where did you see this information? Was it on a social media channel? I do see the IAM services in the list of affected services in the incident report.","comments":[{"id":44261901,"user":"tom1337","time":1749755592,"time_ago":"2 days ago","type":"comment","content":"

The comment was self explanatory, and no, it wasn't a widespread GCP outage. Most everything was up except for GCS and firebase, and later on identity stuff started causing cascading issues but not when this was posted.","comments":[{"id":44263220,"user":"zerd","time":1749762513,"time_ago":"2 days ago","type":"comment","content":"

Our entire infra in GCP stayed up just fine, we just couldn't manage anything. IDK what to tell you. Many of the things you list here were not down at all.","comments":[{"id":44265015,"user":"mirashii","time":1749779182,"time_ago":"2 days ago","type":"comment","content":"

That it wasn’t down for you does not mean it wasn’t down for others or even almost everyone. Certainly, Google wouldn’t have listed the services as having an outage if nobody was impacted. You can’t extrapolate from “works for me” to “it must have been working for everyone”.","comments":[{"id":44265728,"user":"ikiris","time":1749789413,"time_ago":"2 days ago","type":"comment","content":"

Dude, I literally was an SRE there. I'm well aware of how this stuff works.

If some of those things listed had actual widespread outages, it would have been much much worse.","comments":[{"id":44267063,"user":"solardev","time":1749807342,"time_ago":"2 days ago","type":"comment","content":"

I don't understand your argument? Wasn't GCP's own status page calling them outages? Some of our upstream providers (who use GCP) were definitely affected and down.

As a former SRE there, is "widespread outage" a specific, special kind of classification that's not obvious to the public just by looking at the status page...?
