Episode description

Explore the recent Google Cloud and GitHub outages, plus get insights from a network perspective into the August 12 X livestream event featuring Elon Musk and Donald Trump.

In the case of Google Cloud, a power issue in one of its European regions impacted connectivity and affected several services and networking equipment. The problems disrupted connectivity into the region as well as some Partner Interconnect connections and associated routes between other Google regions.

Traffic to and from GitHub.com encountered an issue when a database configuration change resulted in critical services unexpectedly losing connectivity.

And when access issues during the August 12 X “Spaces” livestream were attributed to a network load-related issue, traffic behavior observed during the event suggested a different technical explanation.
