> Google Cloud instances in us-west1, and all European regions and Asian regions, did not experience regional network congestion.

Does not appear to be true. Tests I was running on cloud functions in europe-west2 saw impact to europe-west2 GCS buckets.

I would say this was covered by "Other Google Cloud services which depend on Google's US network were also impacted" it sounds to me like the list of regions was specifically speaking towards loss of connectivity to instances.

It says there wasn't regional congestion, running a function in europe-west2 going to europe-west2 regional bucket is dependent on US network? That would be surprising.

Probably various billing services that need to talk to the mothership in us-east1.

My vps in Belgium was working just fine - they don't lie in postmortem.
