Cloud Sql Instance restart hanging for hours - google-app-engine

My cloud sql instance became unresponsive today (unable to connect using my normal credentials via mysql-client or the google cloud console) so I decided to restart it to see if that would help, since I couldn't find any better debug suggestions. That was over two hours ago and the db still shows as restarting in my cloud sql dashboard. Others that had this issue were told to email cloud-sql#google.com but it's been over an hour already with no response. I wonder if trying to kill the instance via google's api would clear things up but don't want to screw myself even more.

is this still happening? Would you send an email to cloud-sql#google.com with the link of this stackoverflow post and your instance name? Thank you.

Any advice is welcome:

The public issue tracker is a good place to put bugs and/or feature requests. For faster and more urgent issues, contact the Google Cloud Platform support team directly and they will be able to assist you.
Your issue could also simple be a propagation delay, so if in 24/48 hours and you still can't, then it's likely a bug. Furthermore, you can always deploy to another project if it's all the same to you.

View Request Logs on AppEngine Java Dev Server

While it is relatively simple to get the app logs on the AppEngine Java Dev server, I haven't been able to find how to get the request logs. This seems like such a basic feature that there must be an easy way to do it, but so far, I'm stumped. Any help would be appreciated.
There is no nice log viewer, logs are directly dumped to server STDOUT, if you use Idea IDE, you will see logs in Application Servers tab at the bottom. Logs are just dumped as they come in (each log.info("logged event"), it is not possible to view logs per request base.

google app engine fails using app engine:update and app cfg.sh, different errors

My questions is in two folds: issue with app engine:update and with the app cfg.sh.
I looked on the web and could not find any workaround or potential answer that could help me fixing this issue.
My application is working with not much issue locally. Time now to give it a shot on production and upload it to google app engine. At first I tried doing this by using the 'app engine:update' from gradle (I'm using Android Studio). The execution failed with the following error message: "toolkit not found: apple.awt.ctoolkit. Why is this toolkit required and where can we find it?
While searching on the internet there were suggestions to use the appcfg.sh script to upload the application. It seemed to work at first until it asked for email and password. I used the exact same email/password I use to connect to goole-appengine and for some reasons it does not work.
Thanks.
After few hours investigating this issue I found out what the issues were. First thing, my account was compromised and received an email from Google. All I had is to confirm that was me trying to upload application to GAE. Secondly, my primary email address linked to my Google account belongs to another ISP. There is a security feature to disable and for security being a bit more loose. Creating a gmail account did the trick.

Exchange Web Services - Active Directory is unavailable?

Setting: Exchange Web Services (EWS), Exchange Server 2007 SP2, and an ASP.Net web application.
Problem: in the system we use EWS to send emails, sometimes we use extended properties to track more information. This module had been working fine for a long time until a couple of weeks ago, and I am not sure why or what is causing the Active Directory is unavailable error!!
The thing is that there is no pattern (or I am not able to find one so far), sometimes it works fine and sometimes I get the AD error.
I've been searching for more info about this error and didnt find much!
After long investigation and the help of our IT support team, the problem was with one of the Active Directory servers (not sure what was wrong with it) but all requests that went to this server gave this error, they took it down or restarted it and everything worked again

Windows Azure Cloud Service connection with sql database

I have been making requests to my cloud REST Service over the two past weeks. Everything was fine until yesterday.
Over the past days, I kept re-publishing my service to the cloud to test some of its operations with a client. I DID NOT change anything in my web.config, just some method bodies.
Yesterday, by making the simplest GET request to my service, through my browser or Advanced Rest Client, i started getting the following error:
The server encountered an error processing the request. Please see the service help page for constructing valid requests to the service. The exception message is 'The underlying provider failed on Open.'. and so on
I suspect after doing my research that this means I clearly have a connection error with my database which I don't get since it was working fine so far.
I also tried to Stop and Start my service in the Azure Production Enviroment but without any luck. Also the server firewall is configured as it should be.
Any answers would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
In my experience these generally tend to be azure service outages. There is currently 'Scheduled maintenance' occurring on all DB instances which may be affecting you.
