```diff
+ This incident has been resolved. A power outage in Google Cloud's europe-west2-b zone disrupted services running in the europe-west2 region. Nodes in the affected zone were rebooted when the zone recovered. Some affected Aiven for Apache Kafka, Aiven for OpenSearch, Aiven for PostgreSQL and Aiven for Valkey services needed extra recovery steps or node replacement before they returned to normal operation. All affected services have now been restored. We apologise for the disruption.
