Re: Azure was having DNS issues
#34There have been some internal debates about setting up a secondary DNS in case Route53 somehow went down. My reasoning has thusfar been that if Route53 is down, there are probably other AWS services that we depend on that would also be down.
What do you guys think? Is secondary DNS in this case worth it?

This hasn't aged well

#38Alternate 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.
Having a fully up to date status page is what prevents useless repetitive cases during degradation or an outage. If I'm having issues but you show all green, I'm submitting a case.

#39Azure is not having a good year. Two major Active Directory outages, a major CosmosDB outage, and now this.
Apparently AD doesn’t scale. Who know. /s

If I understand this correctly, everything unavailable is eligible for a 25% credit, and if the downtime exceeds ~4 hours then it's a free month.
Neat!
