Incident affecting Google Compute Engine

Issue creating and deleting Compute Engine instances

Incident began at 2020-07-14 22:34 and ended at 2020-07-15 02:14 (all times are US/Pacific).

Date Time Description
15 Jul 2020 18:00 PDT

Initially, we believed that this incident affected all instance create and delete operations, which was inaccurate. Approximately 2% of requests globally were failing and the issue was transient, allowing retried operations to succeed.

All existing instances continued to operate as expected, with only create or delete operations being affected. Upon evaluation of Google’s incident scope and severity, this incident’s severity has been adjusted from Outage to Disruption.

Description: We are experiencing an issue creating and deleting Google Compute Engine instances, starting at Wednesday, 2020-07-15 05:07 US/Pacific.

This is also affecting other products which rely on Compute Engine including Cloud Build, which is in turn used by services including App Engine and Cloud Functions. Other products affected are Cloud Data Fusion, Cloud Dataproc, Cloud Dataflow, and Google Kubernetes Engine. As well, instances created may experience DNS propagation delays.

Current data indicates that approximately 2% of requests globally are affected by this issue.

Mitigation work has been completed by our engineering team and we are monitoring recovery.

Full resolution is expected to complete by Wednesday, 2020-07-15 09:05 US/Pacific.

We will provide an update by Wednesday, 2020-07-15 09:20 US/Pacific with current details.

Diagnosis: Attempts to create a new instance or to delete an instance fail with an error.

Workaround: Retrying the instance operation may succeed.
