They literally own their own data centers. That's whats surprising about this. They are lying to their customers when they say they operate their own data center because obviously they don't if everyone's apps are down with GCP blocking their account.
Oh, I see what you mean. Eh, it's possibly the same reason that AWS essentially goes down when us-east-1 goes down.
Is it not possible that they own their own data center and have an unfortunate Google dependency?
Obviously a fiasco but I’m not prepared to call them liars when it could be an honest mistake.
