Google Cloud us-west1 outage, Aug 20, 2026

8 linked vendors posted 8 incidents between and . 8 vendors named Google Cloud in 8 incidents (7 of them blamed it), and 2 did so before Google Cloud’s own status page. Google Cloud posted “We are investigating an issue where customers may experience timeouts, service degradations, errors, and elevated latencies across multiple products in the us-west1 region.” at 15:40 UTC. 12 other vendors had incidents in the same window; nothing links them to Google Cloud (listed below).

Observed, not verified. A line means a vendor’s incident named another vendor, or a known dependency (declared by the vendor and named as a cause before). It is not a proven cause. Incidents that only share the time window are listed apart.

Times are in UTC; lags are from when Google Cloud posted ().

Vendors that named Google Cloud

In their own words. “Blames” means a causal phrase sits next to the name (“due to”, “upstream provider”…).
