Google Cloud reports an outage and intermittent disruptions in India following a fire at a third-party data centre. The fire causes an emergency power shutdown at the facility, which in turn isolates a local point of presence in Delhi. Multiple outlets say customers may see intermittent network problems, including disrupted connectivity and effects such as latency and packet loss. After the incident, Google reroutes traffic to mitigate the impact; however, rerouting does not eliminate all user-facing issues immediately. Data Center Knowledge notes that disruptions can continue even after rerouting, with customers across Indian metros potentially experiencing reduced performance while traffic is redistributed. The reports characterize the trigger as the third-party data centre fire and the resulting shutdown of networking equipment. Overall, the incident reflects a localized infrastructure disruption in Delhi that leads to broader service degradation for Google Cloud users in India until network traffic stabilizes.
