Azure is also refusing to allocate me capacity - I'm wondering if this is a general MSFT outage?

Here in Minnesota, several coworkers and I are having trouble with our ISP. And a website we host is (apparently) being DDoSed. And now GitHub's down, and you're reporting some Azure issue. Is something going on...?

No, I don't think so (and I'm also in Minnesota). I'm going to guess that the increased load is just pushing services over the edge.

Edit: Also, interestingly enough, I am now reliably hitting Cloudflare's ORD (Chicago) datacenter instead of MSP. If you visit https://snazz.xyz/cdn-cgi/trace (or any other Cloudflare-backed website), what comes after the COLO= for you?

Git pushes are going really slow for me, but they do work after a few tries. If you normally use a credential cache and it's asking you for your password again, hit control-C and retry the operation. That seems to have gotten my last few pushes to work.

got my push to go through, unfortunately downloading packages from https://codeload.github.com was timing out

I don't think it's just GitHub. I noticed everything seemed slow but thought it was just my ISP. Turns out from looking at downdetector.com there seems to be a large spike in reported problems across many sites and providers, all occurring at the same time.

They posted a warning that the uptick in Teams usage and general cloud use has meant they have much less spare capacity - see https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/update-2-on-microsoft...

Is it just me, or has Github's quality of service been continually degrading over the past several months? What is going on internally? Is this because of the Microsoft acquisition? Increased usage? An internal transition to Azure? ...is it time to move away from Github?

I would guess that since they introduced free private repos, usage has been increased a lot. Eg. I used to use bitbucket but switched over to github when they did that, cus the github desktop program is nice and works a lot more smoothly with gtihub as opposed to bitbucket.

Sure, just anecdotally this is my first time running into this so it might be that capacity issues are particularly acute right now.

Even that article states that there hadn't been any service disruptions in the US up to now, but I am certainly experiencing it now.

They've been pushing lots of features in the platform so not surprising that it's a bit unstable now.

In an ideal world, pushing new features would have no impact on stable mature features like browsing files, comment threads, etc

Congrats, you mentioned everything that's less likely, even came up with a conspiracy theory but managed to avoid mentioning the most logical explanation (increase in the use of existing repos, new user growth and bandwidth scarcity that can't be fixed within a short timeframe).
