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.
Add to that that AWS dont really engage in the normal business to business sales process but simple gives you a price list and tells you "thats what it costs" pretty much straight up and it's no surprise a lot of traditional enterprises with huge existing Microsoft bills end up with the vendor they know, understand and think they can control.
It's not that there is anything really wrong with AWS their support is good their products work but it's a messy platform where you really need to pay attention and might even engage with consultant to fully understand what your paying for and how optimization decisions is affecting your ROI as everything is priced individually in AWS where as Azure does a bit more bundling into packages.
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 :-)
It's updated now - updates for service outages at this level generally need signoff form someone higher up the chain
I'm joking, but...

Because it's not the developers that choose the platform and Microsoft knows that.
Reported issues with Teams, Microsoft 365, etc

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.

But shouldn't the individual service dots be automatically turning another color than green? I mean it's an automated service status page, right? Whether there is a human message at the top and that can take some time I understand.
No, it's not automated. I'm sure the underlying tech is automated, but once companies grow beyond a certain size, it needs a human to say "show this status change to the world" because there are lots of things depending on it (e.g. SLAs, but also bonuses, I assume), so they don't want a potential bug in the status system to influence that. It's weird how slow they are with manual sign-off though.
