For posterity, the final status update:

The issue with Google Cloud infrastructure components has been resolved for all affected users as of 09:21. Total time of impact was 08:18 to 09:21 US/Pacific, with the most severe impact at the start of the issue, tapering off as services routed traffic away from Atlanta.

The impact of this incident was concentrated in a region that is not a main GCP region and therefore there was no impact to services based on Google Compute Engine. Services that may have been impacted include External HTTP/S Load balancing requests and API requests that may have been served near the Atlanta metro.

The root cause was a set of router failures in Atlanta, which affected traffic routed through that region.
