London cloud outage disrupts banks, courts and health services
Daily Cyber News: London cloud outage disrupts banks, courts and health services
A power event in Google Cloud’s London region interrupted banking, court video links, business websites and some healthcare appointment access. The incident began in the europe-west2-b zone and affected services including Cloud Run, App Engine, Kubernetes Engine and Filestore. Revolut linked temporary disruption across its app to the cloud outage and later said its services had been restored.
Key context: The outage turned one infrastructure failure into visible disruption across several unrelated sectors.
Additional detail: The practical next step is to test cross-zone and cross-region failover for essential services, then document manual operating paths for payments, hearings and customer support.
