The root cause apparently lasted for ~4.5 hours, but residual effects were observed for days:

> From Sunday 2 June, 2019 12:00 until Tuesday 4 June, 2019 11:30, 50% of service configuration push workflows failed ... Since Tuesday 4 June, 2019 11:30, service configuration pushes have been successful, but may take up to one hour to take effect. As a result, requests to new Endpoints services may return 500 errors for up to 1 hour after the configuration push. We expect to return to the expected sub-minute configuration propagation by Friday 7 June 2019.

Though they report most systems returning to normal by ~17:00 PT, I expect that there will still be residual noise and that a lot of customers will have their own local recovery issues.

Edit: I probably sound dismissive, which is not fair of me. I would definitely ask Google to investigate and ideally give you credits to cover the full span of impact on your systems, not just the core outage.



That’s ok, I didn’t think your comment was dismissive. Those facts are buried in the report. Their opening sentence makes the incident sound lesser than what it really was.
