What happened
Dozens of Google Cloud services failed in the company's London data centre region on Tuesday morning. The outage directly affected firms running their systems in that region.
Revolut also hit
The same morning, customers of fintech Revolut could not use its app or pay by card. A source familiar with the matter told Reuters that Revolut's outage was related to the Google Cloud issue.
Why it matters
Cloud outages can take down dozens of applications at once when they depend on a single infrastructure provider. In payments and banking, such disruptions directly affect daily life.
The source text does not include the duration of the outage, a full list of affected services, or the cause.
