Yesterday Amazon, today Microsoft. Are Google's cloud services going down tomorrow?

This is because Azure just copies everything AWS does. Google is a bit more innovative, they will have something else unexpected happen.
throwback to when they deleted a customer's entire account! https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/05/google-cloud-acciden...
Maybe they are and no one realized yet.. :P
That said, I don't hear about GCP outages all that often. I do think AWS might be leading in outages, but that's a gut feeling, I didn't look up numbers.
They had a pretty massive one earlier this year. https://status.cloud.google.com/incidents/ow5i3PPK96RduMcb1S...
This isn't GCP's fault, but the outage ended up taking down Cloudflare too, so in total impact I think that takes the cake.

fairly certain they had a significant multi region outage within the past few years. I'll try to find some details to link.
Few customers....few voices to complain as well.
as a victim of xbox, azure is down 'bout as often as its up
here's hoping its Oracle's cloud instead....
And if they don't, we'll know who the culprit is.
