    Investigating Elevated Errors in GCP us-central1

    We are investigating elevated error rates and degraded performance for some services running in the Google Cloud (GCP) us-central1 region. This is related to an ongoing Google Cloud networking issue affecting a portion of the region. Customers in this region may experience issues provisioning or deprovisioning clusters, intermittent connectivity issues, elevated latency, or errors. We are actively assessing the full scope of impact and will provide an update as more information becomes available.

What to do next

  • Verify your own services recovered cleanly. Some upstream outages leave queues or caches in a degraded state, run smoke tests before declaring green internally.
  • Save the post-mortem. Vendors usually publish a detailed RCA 1-3 days later. We'll add it to this page when it appears.
  • Watch the provider going forward. Follow Confluent Cloud's status feed →

GlobalOutageMap aggregates publicly reported signals. We never claim authoritative status, always cross-check the provider's official channel before making business decisions.
