This effected me bad, although at least it happened during our day time so I was immediately aware and could communicate to users.
Not exactly sure what happened but I think it was related to Cloud Storage being down. Many of the services rely on Cloud Storage so when it is dead almost everything is dead. Things that concerned me are a) How can a problem happen simultaneously is almost every data center. Shouldn't they be isolated so that can't happen. b) They need to communicate better during outages. The status page is to slow to update and often not accurate. They need a Twitter account giving updates every 5 minutes. Craig On Thu, Nov 20, 2014 at 10:01 AM, Corneliu I.
