Europe data centers struggling to operate in heat wave
I was wondering when we would see the first stories about data center and IXP issues in Europe due to the heat wave. https://www.protocol.com/bulletins/google-oracle-cloud-uk-heat According to Google Cloud's service health page, one of its London buildings hosting cloud services for one of its Western Europe regions experienced a "cooling related failure" starting Tuesday morning. The company powered down services in part of that region to fix the issue. Meanwhile, Oracle is having similar issues. Its service health page said it's working to repair the cooling system in its London data center and has powered down some of its services to "to prevent uncontrolled hardware failures." Oracle said it expects service to be restored today.
