Earlier quoted context omitted.

status page being affected by the same issue is so lame

It begs the question from a noob like me... Where should they host the status page? Surely it shouldn't be on the same infra that it's supposed to be monitoring. Am I correct in thinking that?

We’re 100% on Azure but so far there’s no impact for us.

Luckily, we moved off Azure Front Door about a year ago. We’d had three major incidents tied to Front Door and stopped treating it as a reliable CDN.

They weren’t global outages, more like issues triggered by new deployments. In one case, our homepage suddenly showed a huge Microsoft banner about a “post-quantum encryption algorithm” or something along those lines.

Kinda wild that a company that big can be so shaky on a CDN, which should be rock solid.

For some reason an Azure outage does not faze me in the same way that an AWS outage does. I have never had much confidence in Azure as a cloud provider. The vertical integration of all the things for a Microsoft shop was initially very compelling. I was ready to fight that battle. But, this fantasy was quickly ruined by poor execution on Microsoft's part. They were able to convince me to move back to AWS by simply ma…

I read "Microsoft shop" as "Microsoft slop". Fitting. But at least they open source wash themselves so much they're practically a charity right?

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

Guess you have NASSO now (Not A Single Sign On)

It's Safe and Secure!

Many years back was the first time I used Azure, evaluating it for a client.

I remember I at one point had expanded enough menus that it covered the entirety of the screen.

Never before have I felt so lost in a cloud product.

The sad thing is - $MSFT isn't even down by 1%. And IIRC, $AMZN actually went up during their previous outage. So if we look at these companies' bottom lines, all those big wigs are actually doing something right. Sales and lobbying capacity is way more effective than reliability or good engineering (at least in the short term).

AMZN went up almost 4 percent between the day of the outage and the day after. Crazy market.
