On March 29, a significant outage impacted several Google Cloud services in the us-east5-c zone, attributed to a failure of the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems. The power supply failure started with the loss of regular power, and the UPS systems, designed to offer immediate backup, failed due to a critical battery issue. Manual interventions by technicians were necessary to restore power and services, with Google promising to improve their resilience protocols and consult with UPS suppliers to prevent future failures.
The article outlines a significant outage on March 29 affecting Google Cloud services due to critical failures in UPS battery systems, highlighting vulnerabilities in resiliency.
