Google Cloud had a big problem that stopped many online services like Spotify and Discord from working around the world. Many users saw these problems, and Spotify stopped working for most people around 3 p.m. Eastern Time. Google Cloud said this problem affected customers in many countries. They found out what caused the problem and started to fix it, but they didn't know when it would be completely fixed. Google Cloud is very important for internet services and is growing fast, making a lot of money for Alphabet Inc., even though most of Alphabet's money still comes from Google's search engine.
