Duration: 27 minutes
Affected Services and Features:
Google Cloud Networking - Cloud VPN, Cloud NAT, Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
Regions/Zones: asia-southeast1, asia-east1, europe-west1
Description:
Google Cloud Networking experienced elevated packet loss and latency which impacted multiple Cloud Networking services in asia-southeast1, asia-east1, europe-west1 for a maximum duration of 27 minutes. From preliminary analysis, the root cause was a configuration change for one of the load balancers, which directed traffic for VM public IPs to an incorrect data plane component.
Customer Impact:
Google Cloud Networking
VM to VM public IP and VM to External TCP/UDP Network Load Balancer traffic experienced up to ~50% packet loss across above three regions spanning the same durations.
Cloud VPN
Affected customers experienced up to ~55% packet loss across above three regions spanning the same durations.
Cloud NAT
Affected customers experienced up to ~60% packet loss across above three regions spanning the same durations.
