Google Cloud Disruption: Fire at Data Centre Causes Network Woes in India
Google rerouted traffic and is adding mitigations after the blaze cut capacity and caused intermittent latency and possible packet loss for customers in India.
- On Tuesday, Google Cloud services in India experienced intermittent network disruptions after a fire at a third-party data center in Delhi triggered an emergency shutdown of networking equipment.
- The blaze necessitated an emergency power shutdown at the facility, isolating a local Point of Presence in Delhi and reducing available network capacity across the metropolitan area.
- Network traffic originating from Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai, and surrounding regions faces intermittent periods of elevated latency and possible packet loss, according to the Google Cloud Service Health dashboard.
- Google has rerouted significant traffic from the impacted facility and is "investigating additional traffic mitigations and Internet Edge peering augmentation" to alleviate latency issues for customers.
- Restoration efforts continue while there is no workaround, though Google Cloud remains critical infrastructure widely used to process large data volumes and run artificial intelligence tools.
