Before: not present
After: The latest information identifies europe-west2 and the europe-west2-b zone as affected locations. The incident involves Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networking issues that are disrupting communication between virtual machines in the affected location, which is impacting the availability of clustered Aiven services — currently Aiven for Apache Kafka and Aiven for OpenSearch. We continue to monitor our services to identify any remaining impacted services and we are waiting for connectivity to be restored from Google side, and for the affected nodes to return. We will share further updates as more information becomes available.
