In a recent update on its Cloud Status page, Google acknowledged an ongoing issue affecting multiple services in the europe-west2 region, which began around 7 AM. The company reassured users that its engineering team is actively investigating the matter.
As the situation unfolded, Downdetector, a platform that tracks reported outages for various websites and applications, indicated a noticeable increase in reported issues across several services this morning. However, it remains unclear whether all affected companies utilize Google Cloud services.

What is Downdetector?
Downdetector serves as a valuable resource for users of popular services, including X, Instagram, Facebook, and Virgin Media, allowing them to report any difficulties they encounter. The platform only registers an incident when the volume of problem reports significantly exceeds the typical levels for that time of day. Downdetector describes itself as “where people go when services don’t work,” monitoring disruptions across various essential services, including internet providers, web hosting platforms, banks, and social media.
