LONDON: Multiple Google Cloud services were experiencing serious network disruptions at its European data centre based in London on Tuesday, according to the US technology giant's service health website.
British digital bank Revolut said it is facing disruption to multiple services, which a source close to the matter attributed to the Google Cloud outage.
