Google Cloud services disrupted at London data centre

Cloud computing services run by the US internet technology company Google experienced serious disruptions on Tuesday. The problems affected the company's European data centre, which is based in London.

Cloud computing means that businesses and other users store data and run applications on remote servers rather than on their own premises. Disruption at a data centre can therefore affect services that depend on it.

The source does not say what caused the disruption, how long it lasted, which customers or services were affected, or when normal operation would be restored. These questions remain unanswered for now.
