A Google Cloud outage disrupted numerous services, including those of Cloudflare.
According to Cloudflare’s status page, services like Zero Trust WARP, Stream, Access, and Workers AI were impacted, though core operations remained intact. "This is a Google Cloud outage," a Cloudflare spokesperson told CRN, noting restoration was underway.
Google Cloud confirmed it was mitigating issues primarily in the central U.S. region, reporting signs of recovery by mid-afternoon. Outage-tracking site Downdetector logged thousands of incident reports for Google Cloud, Cloudflare, and other cloud providers such as AWS and Azure, though the latter reported no official disruptions.
Popular apps, including Spotify, Discord, and Snapchat, also saw large spikes in reported outages, though links to Google Cloud's issues were unconfirmed.
Cloudflare and Google each issued several updates that assured users of improving conditions, while monitoring continued to ensure long-term service stability.
