Which was also down until just a few moments ago. Seems like poor planning, but maybe it was just overloaded with requests

Thank goodness I’m not on call!

How do you know? Together with low TTL it seems plausible. But I don't understand how you can know it this fast.

IcM is an internal tracking tool at Microsoft. It sounds like they looked at the tool and noticed this. I used to work there and use it as well.

Alternate status page, of course showing all green across the board in typical Azure fashion. https://status2.azure.com/

Does this have to be posted every time some cloud service has issues? We, as in people in this forum, know that status pages are worthless. They’re tools with the explicit purpose of reducing the burden on tier one customer support. That’s it. They are not a public monitoring platform.

I was on support until a few minutes ago (SQL DB, not general Azure), and the status page was ironically my first indication something was up since said status page was having DNS issues.

Azure is not having a good year. Two major Active Directory outages, a major CosmosDB outage, and now this.

The sad part is that even though that feels like a lot given the time span, it doesn't feel that bad given it's Azure. These network issues have been plaguing us ever since we started using AD.
