Google Cloud suffered some serious outages today and seems to still be struggling to recover. The outage has taken down or affected many other web services including Spotify, Cloudflare, Discord, NPM, and many others We don't believe Eye On Dunn County was affected despite being very dependent on Cloudflare. Google's Cloud Services are used heavily by many companies to power their own services, so a Google Cloud outage can have widespread consequences.
The latest updates from Google indicate that they have recovered most of their underlying infrastructure but many of their services are still unstable or unavailable. They have promised another status update by 3:30 Central Time.
If you have been unable to access some of your services on the Internet today, this is the likely cause.
