Azure DevOps is down globally • Hacker News Board

They're claiming only Central US is having issues on the cloud side. But, the portal itself is also having trouble loading pages and "global" services like identity management.

GitHub Actions is also degraded, coincidence? https://www.githubstatus.com/ For me, pipelines are queuing and not even scheduling jobs on self hosted runners.

No, from the documentation it seems they share a lot of infrastructure between GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps pipelines.

WITCH is the acronym for Indian tech consulting companies for WiPro, InfoSys, Tata Consultancy Services, C something, H something. They're stereotyped as being cheap and low-quality.

Not agreeing/disagreeing here, just stating author's intent.

Not a coincidence, no.

From the "self-hosted" perspectively, interestingly what we're seeing at Depot (https://status.depot.dev/clyrvud6i57402igofm6jtb7id) is API requests to provision new runners or receive runner jobs are receiving rate limit errors, but without the regular rate limit status HTTP headers[1].

I imagine the GitHub API / Actions control plane is rather overloaded at the moment with the outage.

It seems like Azure DevOps migrated to some new login mechanism recently which is visibly slower than the old one, and I was seeing random failures prior to today.

I have noticed something along these lines in the GitHub repos. Tons of bugs piling up, issues closed out as "by design" where clearly is was not. Etc.

I honestly get the impression Azure is in decline, particularly around the .Net integrations which is their flagship ecosystem..
