What's the point of having a status page if it doesn't indicate the issues? https://status.azure.com/en-us/status Azure, Teams, Outlook are almost down from Greece and Germany, and their status page shows that everything is fine :-)

The point is PR. Never trust a status page if it's not directly connected to the monitoring system.

What about the people who work for companies use Azure and were not involved in the decision?

They all have little hair left on their heads and I feel somewhat sorry for them.

I welcome your sympathy because Azure constantly makes my life hell.

So many half baked features and legitimate bugs in their platform that they either don’t fix or take years to fix.

Azure is the most developer hostile cloud environment. I have zero sympathy for people being affected by this because if you voluntarily use Azure then this is what you deserve. Sorry for being so miserable, but Azure has given me soooo much grief over the last 10 years that I'm just completely done with this shitshow of a platform.

From what I can understand choosing Azure is almost always a top-down decision, especially when it comes to government entities/agencies (I live in Europe). MS has a hell of a sales network.

> I have zero sympathy for people being affected by this because if you voluntarily use Azure then this is what you deserve I guess many developers do not use Azure voluntarily but are forced to by their companies (or customers).

And the companies are forced to due to huge contracts with Microsoft

This is why we call it the Triangle of Sadness:

              Azure

This makes you wonder if some centralization patterns, i.e. Azure AD, are not a national security problem?

At this point most probably, yes. Especially as more and more government entities/agencies are moving to the cloud, many of them to Azure (because of MS). I live in Eastern Europe, but I suspect that this migration is happening all around Europe and North America.

I'm so surprised by MS's strategy for using random domains and TLD's, this certainly don't make it easy for phishing avoidance.

Makes sense to use a different domain if everything is down because it could also effect DNS for the main domain.

I think what the OP saying is, if you have multiple random domains, how would people know which ones are legit (or not)? Say I have mixxxrosoft.com, how would you know this is one of MS' official domains?
