The GCP outages don't seem to have been capacity related though, they were both networking issues. In one of them they broke their traffic routing to a datacenter in Atlanta, and in the other one an unnamed cloud provider (that pretty much has to be AWS) broke inbound inter-cloud traffic in us-east1 (so presumably AWS borked the link from Google's us-east1 to AWS us-east-1). These seem like normal sorts of cloud issues that happen to coincide with covid-19.
