Edit: it seems like it might be over.

So, the outage appears to be that DNS for `azure.com` and maybe also `windows.net` (blob storage for us, but I'm not sure) is not resolving.

So, the OP's link here is broken. Tweets indicate that it might be intermittently resolving.

> Warning sign We are aware of an issue affecting the Azure Portal and Azure services, please visit our alternate Status Page here https://status2.azure.com for more information and updates.

Which is the link above, and is also down for me & many others.

Edit: seems hit or miss. A coworker got a successful resolution of status2.azure.com of 104.84.77.137 , so manually, I can get there now. They're directing customers to an all green status page, except for the "An emerging issue is being investigate." bit at the top… (I know of at least two services that are not happy…)

It had to have been less than a month ago that AAD caused a cross-service global outage. Now it's DNS. It's always DNS.

bing.com, status.azure.com, status2.azure.com - all down.

Can't sign into portal.azure.com, can't hit Azure File Shares, etc.

The last outage a few days ago was enough for my company to up and move most of our stuff to AWS. This new outage is enough for us to fully migrate away from Azure.

What a cluster.
