If that is true, and there is no other BGP shenanigans, then I suspect this dependency will not be around for long
From the article:
> Workers KV is in the process of being transitioned to significantly more resilient infrastructure for its central store: regrettably, we had a gap in coverage which was exposed during this incident.
My WAG is it comprises 95% of the company infrastructure
I heard that it was a "mandatory dependency" to mitigate "insider risk" or something. There's no way it's going anywhere. Odds are they'll just enforce even slower rollouts "to catch things early".
WAG = wild-assed guess?

ceo just said not for long
Sub-processor pages are an easy way to verify that sort of thing.

Google denies they had any outages.

They can say that, but any one of their customers knows it's not true.
Is this the ol' "100% down for 3% of your customers" scenario?

Come on, linking four hour old tweets instead of their actual service dashboard where they clearly state there was an outage.
Weaseling out of SLA/SLO payments.
