This is a problem in the web ui creating additional node pools, there is a very simple workaround to use gcloud. What major impact are you referring to?

It's likely the fix is checked in and will start roll out on Monday.

Disclaimer: I work on Google Cloud and while I believe we could use more words here, this doesn't seem like a huge problem. It's embarrassing the the issue with the ui was shipped, and I'm sure this will be addressed in the post mortem as well as whether it could have been mitigated quicker than a roll forward.

Based on comments in this thread even gcloud is failing and so are other non-kubernetes services. Which may be inaccurate but there's a lot of people saying the same thing so maybe it is.

You're right however that the linked issue is only about the UI. So Google isn't even tracking the service distribution issue in it's issue tracker much less updating people on. I personally think that's even worse...

It's not just the UI though. Resources have been exhausted, or that's the error I'm getting, in a lot of regions for both my work and personal accounts (GKE and GCE). Someone on the GCP slack also said they were getting similar issues from Dataflow so it seems to be widespread across products.
