We have noticed a number of stock outages of the nodes we use for Virtual Browsers in the us-central1 region in the last week. We currently fall back to two different node types, and both have been experiencing outages in all 4 zones we attempt in us-central1. The effect is that tracks with Virtual Browser nodes can take some extra time to deploy. This does not affect the other regions we support.

We are monitoring the situation closely and manually deploying additional machine types to ensure a buffer of readily available capacity. We will leave this notice up for the coming week whilst we investigate additional reliability options.
