Why are Azure App Services still working?

Save the speculation for Reddit. HN is better than that.
Re: Tell HN: Azure outage
#324I’ve been migrating our services off of Azure slowly for the past couple of years. The last internet facing things remaining are a static assets bucket and an analytics VM running Matomo. Working with Front Door has been an abysmal experience, and today was the push I needed to finally migrate our assets to Cloudflare. I feel pretty justified in my previous decisions to move away from Azure. Using it feels like build…
All the clouds hav had major outages this year.
At this point I dont believe that any one of them is any better or reliable than the others.

#325We're quickly learning who's relying on a single cloud provider.
Like AWS or GCP? https://downdetector.com/status/aws-amazon-web-services/ - https://downdetector.com/status/google-cloud/
When you look at the scale of the reports, you find they are much lower than Azure's. seeing a bunch of 24-hour sparkline type graphs next to each other can make it look like they are equally impacted, but AWS has 500 reports and Azure has 20,000. The scale is hidden by the choice of graph.
In other words, people reporting outages at AWS are probably having trouble with microsoft-run DNS services or caching proxies. It's not that the issues aren't there, it's that the internet is full of intermingled complexity. Just that amount of organic false-positives can make it look like an unrelated major service is impacted.

#326This is impacting the Azure CDN at azureedge.net. DNS A records for azureedge.net tenants are taking 2-6 seconds and often return nothing.
It's always DNS, unless it's not DNS.

#327I noticed that Starbucks mobile ordering was down and thought “welp, I guess I’ll order a bagel and coffee on Grubhub”, then GrubHub was down. My next stop was HN to find the common denominator, and y’all did not disappoint.
Good thing HN is hosted on a couple servers in a basement. Much more reliable than cloud, it seems!
Just don't use genetically identical hardware:

#328The VS Code website is down: https://code.visualstudio.com/ And so is Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/
https://www.microsoft.com works for me (with the www subdomain).

I didn't realize AWS got a pass?
Have repeated outages lost them customers? has it lost them any money in any way? That is a pass.
Have people left GitHub due to the multiple post-acquisition outages? That is a pass if you don't judge it the same way.

Spam those Azure tickets. If you have a CSAM, build them a nice powerpoint telling the story of all your AFD issues (that's what they are there for). > In 50%+ the cases they just don‘t report it anywhere, even if its for 2h+. I assume you mean publicly. Are you getting the service health alerts?
CSAM apparently also means Customer Success Account Manager for those who might have gotten startled by this message like me.
Thank you, not going to google that shit.
