Ouch, and login.microsoftonline.com too - i.e. SSO using MS accounts. We'd just rolled that out across most (all?) of our internal systems... And microsoft.com too - that's gotta hurt

I am still stunned people choose to do this, considering major Office 365 outages are basically a weekly thing now.

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.

Trusting AI without sufficient review and oversight of changes to production.

Yeah, these things never happened when humans were trusted without sufficient review and oversight of changes to production.

On our end, our VMs are still working, so our gitlab instance is still up. Our services using Azure App Services are available through their provided url. However, Front Door is failing to resolve any domains that it was responsible for.

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.

It's just the admin portal.

It's absolutely not only the admin portal.

It's CDN and FrontDoor at least.

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.

FWIW, all of our databases, VMs, AKS clusters, services, jobs etc - are all working fine. Which services are down for you, maybe we can build a list?

Looks like AWS is also impacted?

Yeah the graph for that one looks exactly the same shape. I wonder if they were depending on some azure component somehow, or maybe there were things hosted on both and the azure failure made enough things failover to AWS that AWS couldn't cope? If that was the case I'd expect to see something similar with GCP too though. Edit: nope looks like there's actually a spike on GCP as well

It's possibly more likely that people mis-attribute the cause of an outage to the wrong providers when they use downdetector.

SSO and 365 are working fine for us, but admin portals for Azure/365 are down. Our workloads in Azure don't seem to be impacted.
