My VM is still down (US East). Is anyone else still experiencing issues?
My VMs appear to be up mostly, but they are primarily in North Central.
Thanks, I just restarted it and it took a while (5 minutes or so), but after that, it appears fine.

#112So much for the idea of 99.999% uptime with the magical "cloud" buzzword. I noticed during this downtime in North America that Word Online wasn't functioning as my daughter tried to use it to do some homework.
If you want 99.999% uptime, use Azure TrafficManager and set up failover loadbalancing to different datacenters.
We have failover loadbalancing running between multiple datacenters, no issue here!
edit : 99.99%

So much for the idea of 99.999% uptime with the magical "cloud" buzzword Who was selling that to you? Because I'm pretty sure it wasn't Microsoft…
Oh its 99.9% from Microsoft see http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/sla/ which means they get 9h a year to hit the SLA see http://uptime.is/

#114This may be greater then just west Europe. I personally have servers in US East that are unreachable, and there are a few reports of others in US region reporting partial unavailability for the US based servers. I wonder how many customers Azure just lost do to their unexpected 2 day fiasco

Amazon had a number of EBS fiascoes and survived just fine. I'd expect Azure to do the same.

They are selling 99.99% availability over a monthtly cycle for their Storage service.
99.95% connectivity for their Virtual Machine service.

9 hours of downtime means they are down to at most 98.75% for this cycle.
Re: Microsoft Azure Outage
#116I feel like an idiot. MS featured my Azure startup today, quoting me about overall stability etc (which has been the case for us, until today). They then proceeded to go down, taking all our production systems with them. (yes we do have AWS, too) Sigh.
Azure has had quite a few outages this year. I'd say it's already lower than that 99.999 percent uptime or w/e they are advertising.
According to https://cloudharmony.com/status-1year-for-azure, they didn't reach 99.99%.

0.001% of 365 days is 8.76 hours. So yeah, shot for the year; but of course they'll do some "hollywood timekeeping" (or just ignore the matter altogether) and keep advertising...

#118come on! give them some slack.. they probably aren't very experienced at managing their linux servers! ;)

#119Earlier quoted context omitted.
Wow, comparing that to AWS is staggering! https://cloudharmony.com/status-for-aws
It's not as if AWS has never gone down ( http://aws.amazon.com/message/65648/ ). It just hasn't had a major outage in the last 30 days.
Comparing https://cloudharmony.com/status-1year-for-azure with https://cloudharmony.com/status-1year-for-aws tells a different story.
Re: Microsoft Azure Outage
#120Reality call: ANY and ALL Cloud services, be it Google, Azure, AWS etc, will be down for hours at some point every few years.
