(All Times US/Pacific) Incident Start: 2 May 2023 14:45 Incident End: 2 May 2023 17:19 Duration: 2 hours, 34 minutes Affected Services and Features: Google Cloud CLI Regions/Zones: Global Description: Google Cloud CLI users experienced elevated errors for a period of 2 hours and 34 minutes. Google engineering teams were alerted by internal monitoring probes and started to work on the mitigation immediately. From preliminary analysis, the root cause of the issue was an incorrect logic used for parsing the flag that was introduced as part of a configuration change. The issue was resolved by rolling back the configuration changes, preventing any further impact to the users. Customer Impact: Google Cloud CLI users using service accounts (non-human accounts), encountered the following error message: “gcloud crashed (AttributeError): 'bool' object has no attribute 'lower'” Users were able to mitigate this in three ways: Disable auth/service_account_use_self_signed_jwt explicitly Disable feature flags Downgrade to a lower version of Google Cloud CLI from version 419.0.0 Additional details: Impact was limited only to Google Cloud CLI version 419.0.0 and above, using service accounts.
