(#21508479)
Will Google please consider explaining to us why we continue to experience multi-region failures and what will be done so that we can build reliable systems on top of GCP?
I have been taught by AWS that we should expect occasional cross-AZ failures and almost no cross-region failures. This does not appear to be the case at GCP. I would like to have GCP as a cloud option - some of your tech is very impressive - but I have no idea how to design infrastructure on GCP so that I can be confident it won't fail due to a GCP problem that I cannot fix.
