Issue creating and deleting Compute Engine instances

[Google Cloud Platform Status]

Description: We are experiencing an issue creating and deleting Google Compute Engine instances, starting at Wednesday, 2020-07-15 05:07 US/Pacific.

This is also affecting other products which rely on Compute Engine including Cloud Build, which is in turn used by services including App Engine and Cloud Functions.

Our engineering team continues to investigate the issue.

We will provide an update by Wednesday, 2020-07-15 08:00 US/Pacific with current details.

Diagnosis: Attempts to create a new instance or to delete an instance fail with an error.

Workaround: None at this time.

Initially, we believed that this incident affected all instance create and delete operations, which was inaccurate. Approximately 2% of requests globally were failing and the issue was transient, allowing retried operations to succeed.

All existing instances continued to operate as expected, with only create or delete operations being affected. Upon evaluation of Google’s incident scope and severity, this incident’s severity has been adjusted from Outage to Disruption.
