Yesterday Amazon, today Microsoft. Are Google's cloud services going down tomorrow?
Maybe they are and no one realized yet.. :P That said, I don't hear about GCP outages all that often. I do think AWS might be leading in outages, but that's a gut feeling, I didn't look up numbers.
Few customers....few voices to complain as well.
Seems to be down in Norway. Even the national digital id service is down.
Can't help but smirk as my country is ramming through "Digital ID" right now
FYI: https://status.cloud.microsoft/
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
- on a US tenant I am unable to access login.microsoftonline.com and the login flow stalls on any SSO authentication attempt.
- on a European tenant, probably germany-west, I am able to login and access the Azure portal.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Starbucks mobile was down during the AWS outage too...
They are multi-cloud --- vulnerable to all outages!
they think that they are 'eliminating a single point of failure', but in reality, they end up adding multiple, complicated points of mostly failure.
The Internet is supposed to be decentralized. The big three seem to have all the power now (Amazon, Microsoft, and Google) plus Cloudflare/Oracle. How did we get here? Is it because of scale? Going to market in minutes by using someone else's computers instead of building out your own, like co-location or dedicated servers, like back in the day.
It still is very decentralized. We are discussing this via the internet right now.

Pretty much all Azure services seem to be down. Their status page says it's only the portal since 16:00. It would be nice if these mega-companies could update their status page when they take down a large fraction of the Internet and thousands of services that use them.
It's only after the fact they are transparent about the impact
