Summary
cloudslikely Google Cloud and perhaps Cloudflare experienced an outage, affecting a number of AI platforms and tools, including ChatGPT, Claude and Sagemaker.
Google’s GCP confirmed the outage, encouraging users to check the status dashboard, which showed that services including API Gateway, Agent Assist, Cloud Data Fusion, Contact Center AI Platform, Google App Engine, Google BigQuery, Google Cloud Storage, Identity Platform, Speech-to-Text, Text-to-Speech and Vertex AI Search were all experiencing issues.
Cloudflare confirmed the issue was limited to only a number of services, and that core Cloudflare services were not impacted.
The incident has highlighted the challenges of depending on a single cloud service provider.
Enterprises that depend on cloud services for consistent uptime may lose out if outages occur too frequently.
