5 months ago there was an outage in GKE for 3 days: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18428497

It doesn't look like a good service to me at all.

That discussion seems to indicate that 1) it was a console/UI issue (not a service outage), and 2) it was actually resolved within the day but the final incident update came 3 days later.

Those are two separate links to two separate incidents.

That was a Global Load Balancer outage. Not a GKE outage.

When that GCLB outage happened, GKE would still be able to get traffic if you used ngnix ingress and/or regional load balancers.
