We invested early in being multi-region on GCP as well as multi-cloud with AWS as a fully redundant option if it ever became necessary to fail over to them.

It sure did. It took us about a minute to fully fail over to AWS, and we are running there now for the rest of the day. We will promote GCP to be the primary cloud again tonight.

Without our multi-cloud set up we would have been down for over an hour. In our business this is not an option.
