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

Yeah, I have non prod environments that don't use FD that are functioning. Routing through FD does not work. And a different app, nonprod doesn't use FD (and is working) but loads assets from the CDN (which is not working).

FD and CDN are global resources and are experiencing issues. Probably some other global resources as well.

Hate to say it, but DNS is looking like it's still the undisputed champ.

Oh, well, I'm sure Azure will be given the same pass that AWS got here recently when they had their 12-hour outage...

I didn't realize AWS got a pass?

Microsoft posted an update on X: https://x.com/AzureSupport/status/1983569891379835372?ref_sr... "We’re investigating an issue impacting Azure Front Door services. Customers may experience intermittent request failures or latency. Updates will be provided shortly."

Always fun when you can't trust the main status page but have to go to some opinionated social medial website to see the actual problem.

yea I saw that, but im not sure on how accurate that is. a few large apps/companies I know to be 100% on AWS in us-east-1 are cranking along just fine.
