Status: Investigating We are continuing to respond to the Google Cloud incident affecting the europe-west2 region. The underlying Google Cloud issue — a power outage in the europe-west2-b zone has been mitigated by Google, and recovery of most workloads has been in progress since 15:10 EEST. Services running in the affected region may be unavailable or degraded while recovery is in progress. We are seeing the recovery of services and are prioritizing the recovery of existing workloads. Customers may not be able to yet create new workloads. We are actively recovering the affected services, including recycling affected Kafka nodes and working through the OpenSearch and PostgreSQL services that need additional steps. We are monitoring the situation closely and will continue until all affected services are healthy. Affected components Aiven (Degraded performance)
