High availability is touted as a reason for their high prices, but I swear I read about major cloud outages far more than I experience any outages at Hetzner.

Yesterday Amazon, today Microsoft. Are Google's cloud services going down tomorrow?

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.

It's always freakin DNS...

Pretty much all Azure services seem to be down. Their status page says it's only the portal since 16:00. It would be nice if these mega-companies could update their status page when they take down a large fraction of the Internet and thousands of services that use them.

At least MSFT is consistent: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/ is down as well

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

That status page is never red. Absolutely useless. > There are currently no active events. Use Azure Service Health to view other issues that may be impacting your services. Links to a page on Azure Portal which is down...

It's red right now.
