A power failure at a Google data centre in London disrupted Google Cloud services across the company’s London region this morning, causing problems for customers of businesses including the banks Revolut and Lloyds, the delivery company DPD and the property website Rightmove.
Google said on its service health page that the incident began at 07:08 UK time today in its London region, which it labels europe-west2. In an update it said that “due to a power event we had suffered” there had been an outage within one zone of the region, europe-west2-b, and that the power event was “mitigated”.
Earlier updates said multiple services in the region were experiencing “elevated errors and intermittent network failures”. At the time of its latest update, Google listed 38 products as affected, including Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, BigQuery, Cloud SQL and Kubernetes Engine.
