Things have been back up for several minutes.

Things are not back up for me. And looking at Twitter, it looks like things are still broken for a lot of people.

When I tell my clients Azure had another outage they're going to demand we move to another cloud service. Looks like I'm in for a looong couple weeks.

How did you get on Azure to begin with?

I'm guessing he inherited it. I'm guessing most people on this thread are in that boat.

What are you going to tell them when the other cloud services have their inevitable outages?

In my case, we actually chose it, as we´re a Microsoft shop. Hasn´t been that bad, but we did experience 2 major outages in 1 year.

Not sure how many outages are there on AWS.

Azure SQL is totally down for us as well. Unable to resolve the DNS for it, both from within azure (kubernetes pods) and from outside (my laptop).

EDIT (23:37 Oslo/Norway): connectivity is restored for us now

On a more serious note, how would your entire network, worldwide go down? Are there really no independent zones (that are unaware of each other)? That can’t be good.

AWS has one or two a year from what I've seen... IIRC gcp has had outages too... Unless you're designing with several safeguards in place across multiple regions and cloud providers, there's no getting around it.

Everyone has down time, it's just often coordinated to a lot of people when it does happen. It's still generally less than when you try to self host on a cloud provider, it's just not your mistake that did it.
