Let's hope you don't have a life threatening medical emergency that can't wait near an affected healthcare facility while that silly software is down.
If your ability to operate an ER is dependent on a remote data center, you have no business being a public health provider.
Am I the only one that finds this slightly humorous?
It's likely the fix is checked in and will start roll out on Monday.
Disclaimer: I work on Google Cloud and while I believe we could use more words here, this doesn't seem like a huge problem. It's embarrassing the the issue with the ui was shipped, and I'm sure this will be addressed in the post mortem as well as whether it could have been mitigated quicker than a roll forward.
Based on comments in this thread even gcloud is failing and so are other non-kubernetes services. Which may be inaccurate but there's a lot of people saying the same thing so maybe it is.
You're right however that the linked issue is only about the UI. So Google isn't even tracking the service distribution issue in it's issue tracker much less updating people on. I personally think that's even worse...
