Hey Dang, thanks for cleaning up the thread. One thing to note is that the title is not correct. The entire region is not currently down, as the regional impact was mitigated as of 06:39 PDT, per the support dashboard (though I think it was earlier). The impact is currently zonal (europe-west9-a), so having zone in the title as opposed to region would reflect reality closer.

Finally, there's lots of good feedback on this thread and on the previous one (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35711349), so we obviously have a lot of lessons to learn.
