Google Cloud outage, Aug 6, 2025

12 vendors posted 12 incidents between 03:00 and 09:00 UTC, against about 10 incidents from 8 vendors in the same hours on an ordinary week. 5 vendors named Google Cloud in 5 incidents (3 of them blamed it). Vendors reported a Google Cloud outage; Google Cloud’s own incident for this date is not in the archive.

Observed, not verified. A line means a vendor’s incident named another vendor, or started in the same window. It is not a proven cause.

Times are UTC; lags are from when the first vendor named Google Cloud.

Second hop: vendors that named another vendor

These incidents name a vendor other than Google Cloud, for example a messaging or CDN provider that was itself affected.

Same window, did not name anyone

5 incidents started during the event without naming Google Cloud or another vendor. Some are part of it, some are a normal day’s background (about 10 in these hours).
