Unified Maintenance is a service to manage planned maintenance across Google Cloud
services. Unified Maintenance provides Cloud Logging integration and sends
notifications with information about upcoming maintenance. Use these notifications
to prepare for scheduled changes affecting your workflows.
The Unified Maintenance service does the following:
Provides visibility into planned maintenance events.
Provides access to basic maintenance controls, such as reschedule or on-demand
updates.
Provides access to maintenance information through alerts using Cloud Logging.
Integrates maintenance information with your workflow using supported
Cloud Logging integrations, such as Slack, PagerDuty, or email.
Unified Maintenance integrates with Google Cloud services that are subject to
planned maintenance, which could cause your applications to experience disruptions.
Planned maintenance is any scheduled maintenance performed by Google that impacts
one or more customer resources. Impact to customer resources could manifest in
many ways. For example, you might experience downtime, reduced availability,
latency spikes, loss of connectivity, or performance degradation due to software
or hardware updates.
Not all Google Cloud products are subject to these kinds of disruptions during
maintenance. For more information, see the Supported services section. To learn if your region is supported, see the
Regions and zones section.
Unplanned incidents are not captured by Unified Maintenance. Incidents are any
unexpected downtime to a service, loss of connectivity, or degradation. Incidents
might be caused by a regional outage, hardware failure, or software defect.
To learn more about other service health events not covered by Unified Maintenance,
see the Personalized Service Health
documentation.
