(All Times US/Pacific)

Incident Start: 06 October 2021 13:50

Incident End: 06 October 2021 17:42

Duration: 3 hours, 52 minutes

Affected Services and Features:

  • Cloud Spanner: Latency

Regions/Zones: us-central1

Description:

Cloud Spanner experienced elevated p99.9 read latencies in us-central1 in some limited cases for a duration of 3 hours, 52 minutes. From preliminary analysis, the root cause of the issue was a resource contention issue on a small portion of the Spanner frontend servers in us-central1 that affected p99.9 latency for some customers.

Customer Impact:

A small portion of the regional Cloud Spanner instances in us-central1 experienced increased p99.9 latency for read requests. Multi-regional Cloud Spanner instances (nam6, nam7, nam9, nam10, nam11, nam12, and nam-eur-asia1) where the requests were routed to the impacted frontend servers in us-central1 were affected similarly.

Additional details:

The issue has been fully mitigated by isolating the impacted frontend servers, and we do not believe there is a risk of recurrence at this time.
