Is Google Cloud down?

The status at the top of this page comes from Hyperping checks of Google Cloud, run every minute and refreshed on the page every 60 seconds. Green means the latest checks succeeded; red means they are failing, confirmed from several regions.

We monitor 4 Google Cloud services every minute, in turn from Virginia, Frankfurt and Singapore: Cloud Storage (storage.googleapis.com, up on a 400 response), Cloud APIs (cloudresourcemanager.googleapis.com, up on a 401 response), Console (console.cloud.google.com, up on a successful response) and Website (cloud.google.com, up on a successful response). When a check fails, other regions check again before that service counts as down. Google Cloud counts as down when all of them are, and as partly down when only some are. Google Cloud runs each region on its own: these checks cover its global entry points (Cloud Storage, the Cloud APIs and the console), not the regions your projects run in.

An outage can be partial: one feature, one app, one country or one internet provider, and our checks see Google Cloud from data centers. Try another network such as mobile data, update or restart the app, and check the official status page for an incident on one feature.

Yes, status.cloud.google.com. Google Cloud's team updates it by hand, so it can lag behind the start of an outage; our checks run every minute whatever it says.

Yes. Create a free Hyperping account and add storage.googleapis.com as a monitor: you are alerted by email, Slack or your other channels within a minute of a failure. The free plan includes 20 monitors, enough for your own site and the services it depends on.
