I don't think I get this April Fool's joke.

I thought this was another April Fools joke from Microsoft. Then I looked at the status page and here we are.

Then GitHub Actions and some services stopped working and went on holiday today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26666782

DownDetector is worthless. There’s no reason to put any stock in it.

Look at the comments on any entry and it’s clear people do stuff like report “outages” for Google because a random website won’t work in Chrome.

The problem with downdetector is that people say something is down when really it's another service. Like with Cloudflare, a lot of the comments are simply that a website was down giving an CF error, but in reality it was probably not CF that was down but an underlying service.

Just me or azure been really unstable lately atleast here in europe?

Major worldwide outages for AAD, CosmosDB, and now DNS in just the past few months so it’s definitely not just you.

Maybe Microsoft should invest less in their shiny new AI/ML platforms and more into stability of their core services.

bing.com, status.azure.com, status2.azure.com - all down. Can't sign into portal.azure.com, can't hit Azure File Shares, etc. The last outage a few days ago was enough for my company to up and move most of our stuff to AWS. This new outage is enough for us to fully migrate away from Azure. What a cluster.

Instead of going from relying on a single provider to relying on a single provider, you could use both AWS and Azure.

Agree on the CF part. I found it interesting that the downdetector page had other cloud-providers like Google and AWS showing error spikes at around the same time.
