Both of GCP's recent outages were caused by "fiber optic maintenance". On August 20th when us-west1 went down they said [1]: > The disruption originated during scheduled fiber optic maintenance, which unexpectedly compromised network capacity between data centers within the us-west1 region. Then on September 1st when us-central1-b (and collateral affects in other zones) went down they said [2]: > The immediate technical trigger for this event was the inadvertent physical disconnection of network fiber-optic cables during a routine hardware maintenance procedure. Not sure if they're related but apparently procedures we're significantly changed after the first incident to prevent the second incident. [1] https://ift.tt/sJ8GLWC [2] https://ift.tt/WEjkybN
