Now is a good time to point out that the SLA of Google Cloud Storage only covers HTTP 500 errors: https://cloud.google.com/storage/sla . So if the servers are not responding at all then it's not covered by the SLA.

Doesn't surprise me. The value of their ad products is deteriorating rapidly. For instance just today we found that one of our UAC campaigns, which supposedly is super smart and will automatically find the best channel for you decided

Given the big mess they had when Google Drive migrated to Google Play subscriptions I wouldn't exactly say that they're good at it. http://imgur.com/a/gzkZ5

I'd be very surprised if Dropbox manages to IPO at $10B valuation. The growth simply isn't there. They're big on platforms and markets with no growth but they're getting killed in growth markets. E.g. my cloud storage st

1% of ~2 roughly billion users = 20 million users. With one request every 5 years that'd be roughly 10k support requests per day. Considering that a lot of the cases can be answered very quickly (or possibly automatically) you can easi

Also on GCS, if you do a HEAD after DELETE on a bucket that is under lifecycle management it returns 200 instead of 404. Not really a consistency issue but it can really come and bite if you if you're not aware of it. GET returns 404 b

We are also calling S3 from our servers. S3 is receiving more requests and has had 0 issues. This is the corresponding NewRelic data for S3: http://imgur.com/HjH4f0Q

I asked Google's support team the same thing regarding the SLA not including situations when the system would not be responding to any requests at all. This was there response: "please understand that these SLA's are meant to

This also occurs for small payloads (e.g. list operations). Google's support team has acknowledged that the problem was on their end. They sent us this message: "I wanted to let you know we have some more information regarding the

Thanks for the follow up. This has been an open support case since October 15th. Regardless of the reason of the issue I find it absurd that only HTTP 500 errors are covered by the SLA.

We use Multi-regional, Regional, DRA, Nearline and Cloudline. NewRelic doesn't differentiate between the buckets. It only provide an average across all request to storage.googleapis.com. However, since you now are promising sub-second

If you consider to use Google Cloud Platform it's important to know that their SLA is practically useless. It only includes requests with HTTP Status code 500. If the system is not responding at all it's not covered by the SLA. Se

Great that they solved it! My company (degoo.com) had to use CloudFront instead of CloudFlare for our binaries because of this bug. Our conversion rate went down about 10% whenever we used CloudFlare instead. Perhaps time to switch back.
