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 also noticed strange behavior that was not present before this perceived update, e.g. basic auth challenges and pop-up windows if I'm waking up my computer and still have azdo pages open.

I suppose this explains why OneDrive is down.

Attempting to save to my OneDrive folder on my Mac gets an error in Excel, and suggests that I save a copy to somewhere else.

Attempting to view my OneDrive files via the web interface shows no files and then eventually says something went wrong. Retrying cycles among different errors includes GeneralError, ServerTooBusy, and telling me to make sure I don't have any firewall or plugins that could be blocking access to api.onedrive.com.

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

very surprised by all the infrastructure hosted in us central. the page claims codespaces is functional but it clearly is not. it fails at loading vscode after bootstrapping the environment.

Entire Azure been offloaded to WITCH beware.

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..

I don't necessarily share this impression, but the teams that simply close items after being unable to sufficiently develop a solution, leading to the original issue raiser giving up after realizing that those who are supporting the issues are useless, are not helping with the public's impression of azure.

Is it surprising?

Dallas, STL, KC, Chicago all count as central. More or less equidistant for east/west coast markets. Seems like natural edge node coordinates along the scale ladder.
