    Detection

    The incident began on 22 October 2024 at 14:08 but was first posted on the status page on 4 November 2024 at 13:17 US/Pacific, about 13 days later. The first post said large Vertex Model Garden deployments (greater than 100GB) on a GKE Autopilot cluster might fail.

    Remediation
    • rolled back the configuration change that introduced the storage provisioning error
    Lessons

    A configuration error that affects only one class of deployments, here models needing more than 100 GB of disk, can stay in place across most regions for almost two weeks. The visible symptom, a model server that never becomes ready, does not point at storage provisioning, and the fix was to roll the configuration back. The report lists no follow-up actions.

Check your cluster for this

This case involves conditions a cluster can be checked for. kubegap audits a Kubernetes cluster for gaps like these, read-only, from Claude Code or Codex; its checks cite public reports like the ones in this library.
