Google, was hit by a worldwide service outage from 12:00 UTC to 12:35 UTC on December 14, 2020. This affected much of the company's client-facing businesses, including GMail, YouTube, Google Docs, Google Drive, Blogger, and others. The Google Workspace Dashboard lists a number of Google services as facing a "service outage," an incident severity higher than "service disruption," (which tends to be localized). The outage potentially disrupted several businesses dependent on Google Docs and certain other Cloud services, although the extent of the outage with Google Cloud, isn't known. Interestingly, throughout the outage, we could access Google Web-Search, including all its Search features.
