Google Cloud Disruptions Continue After India Data Center Fire
Google has rerouted traffic after a Delhi data center fire, but customers across Indian metros may still experience latency and packet loss.
Get smart on it
A fire at a third-party data center facility in Delhi forced an emergency shutdown of networking equipment, reducing network capacity in the region. Google Cloud customers across multiple Indian metropolitan areas continue to experience intermittent latency and packet loss even after the company rerouted traffic away from the affected facility, because demand now exceeds available capacity. Google is working to restore full service by optimizing backbone network capacity, expanding its Delhi point of presence, and migrating peering partners, with the next update expected on June 15.
