Google services experienced a significant outage impacting users worldwide, including Gmail, Drive, Search, and more. According to Downdetector, complaints peaked around 9pm ET. The issue, which primarily affected users in the US and UK regions, was confirmed to be caused by a loss of power to networking equipment in Google’s London data center.
During the outage, users connecting to Workspace services from the UK region may have experienced connectivity issues for approximately 40 minutes. Additionally, Google Cloud Platform suffered an outage, affecting Cloud CDN, Cloud Load Balancing, and other services.
