Re: Google Paris datacenter down 2 weeks, no word on restore

Actually, no widespread reports on site outages, so looks like
everything was replicated?

Wow, the outlook for Google availability in Paris is “Cloudy”.

I think the mainframe would have been impacted by this as well since this is a 
data center design issue, no?

Not mainframe-related, but that article led me to this one:

https://www.theregister.com/2023/05/08/ups_replacement_project_to_shut/

Irony alert: Major airport to be interrupted for two hours to replace UPS
Three power outages have hit NAIA in the past year. What was that about ramping 
up tourism?

The replacement of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) at the air traffic 
management center in a major airport in the Philippines will result in the 
entire country's airspace being shut down for two hours on May 17.

The corrective action at Ninoy Aquino International Airport was originally 
scheduled to suspend operations for six hours on May 17. This was later 
shortened to between 2AM and 4AM (1800 to 2000 UTC).

"After careful study, simulation, consultation with CAAP's technical team and 
service provider, it was agreed that the maintenance activity can be expedited 
by providing additional manpower and a standby UPS," CAAP spokesperson Eric 
Apolonio told the Philippine News Agency.

The maintenance work follows two recent major power outages at NAIA that 
resulted in chaos and stranded travelers on heavy travel days – New Year's Day 
and Labor day weekend.

The New Year's Day incident lasted for eight hours. Over 65,000 would-be 
passengers across 360-plus flights were stranded when the blowers in the 
Communications, Navigation, and Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) 
systems' electrical network "conked out" and the two uninterruptible power 
supplies failed.

They had one job. It's right there in the name.

Technicians at the time further complicated matters when they fried the 
terminals that receive satellite data from airplanes and air traffic management 
systems by shooting the wrong voltage into the system to bypass a damaged UPS.
