Google's recent cloud outage disrupted more than just their own services, bringing several third-party apps and even YouTube to their knees during US morning hours.

It started on Thursday, when a significant number of users couldn't access their favorite apps and services, including Google services like Drive, Meet, and YouTube. Google admitted that a failure of their Cloud Networking service was the cause of the problem, which resulted in an outage that impacted their entire US region.

This is a massive problem, not just for Google but for the many companies and individuals who rely on their cloud services to do business. Cloud networking is essential for companies like Google to offer services to customers and having this derailed can cause significant harm to the company's reputation.

Fortunately, Google has since resolved the issue and the affected services are back online. In a statement, a Google spokesperson said that they are "conducting a thorough investigation and will take steps to prevent this issue from occurring in the future."

The company has not stated what may have caused the Cloud Networking failure, but this certainly won't be the last service outage issue we'll see this year. Let's just hope the next one isn't so impactful.

Go!
