For me the same. It's very confusing that status page [1] is green [1]: https://azure.status.microsoft/en-us/status

They added a message at the same time as your comment:

"We are investigating an issue with the Azure Portal where customers may be experiencing issues accessing the portal. More information will be provided shortly."

As of now Azure Status page still shows no incident. It must be manually updated, someone has to actively decide to acknowledge an issue, and they're just... not. It undermines confidence in that status page.

I have never noticed that page being updated in a timely manner.

Appears to be an issue in Front Door. Our back end stuff is fine but FD is bouncing everything.

Quite close to the recent AWS outage. Let me take a look if its a major one similar to AWS.

Any guess on what's causing it?

In hindsight, I guess the foresight of some organizations to go multi-cloud was correct after all.

Many (all?) LinkedIn profiles are also down for me. Luckily the frontpage still works. ;-)

Go cloud!
