Now is a good time to point out that the SLA of Google Cloud Storage only covers HTTP 500 errors: https://cloud.google.com/storage/sla. So if the servers are not responding at all then it's not covered by the SLA. I've brought this to their attention and they basically responded that their network is never down.

Ironically I can't read that page because, since it's Google-hosted, I'm getting an HTTP 500 error... but which means at least that service is SLA-covered...

Cloud services live and die by their reputation, so I'd be shocked if Google ever tried to get out of following an SLA contract based on a technicality like that. It would be business suicide, so it doesn't seem like something to be too worried about?
