Google's Cloud has experienced a fifteen-hour hiccup, after some subscriptions to its "Cloud Pub/Sub ... were deleted unexpectedly approximately from Tuesday."
Cloud Pub/Sub is middleware that Google says "delivers low-latency, durable messaging that helps developers quickly integrate systems hosted on the Google Cloud Platform and externally."
Scratch the "durable" because on September 27th at 21:34 Pacific Time Google notified the world it had spotted deleted accounts and pledged to restore them.
By 15:26 on September 28th the company said "We have restored most of the missing Google Cloud Pub/Sub subscriptions for affected projects. We expect to restore the remaining missing subscriptions within one hour."
It took less than an hour for Google to advise customers they could "re-create missing subscriptions manually in order to make them available." Which isn't exactly how clouds are supposed to work!
