Google services down for 2 minutes

Posted by iwgcr

On Friday August 16th Google services incuding Gmail, Drive and Calendar stopped working for 2 minutes. Though only for a short time, many users noticed Google’s failure, as well as the inability to check the services’ status because Google publishes them on google.com/appsstatus which is hosted on the same infrastructure that went down.
