Quite close to the recent AWS outage. Let me take a look if its a major one similar to AWS. Any guess on what's causing it? In hindsight, I guess the foresight of some organizations to go multi-cloud was correct after all.

Trusting AI without sufficient review and oversight of changes to production.

Do you have any insight or do you just dislike AI? Incidents like this happened long before AI generated code

We're on Office 365 and so far it's still responding. At least Outlook and Teams is.

They don't run on Azure!

Are you absolutely sure?

Compare the comments and news coverage on this compared to the AWS outage... pretty telling.

I noticed that Starbucks mobile ordering was down and thought “welp, I guess I’ll order a bagel and coffee on Grubhub”, then GrubHub was down. My next stop was HN to find the common denominator, and y’all did not disappoint.

I am having a bunch of issues. It looks like their sites and azure are both affected.

I also got weird notification in VS2022 that my license key was upgraded to Enterprise, but we did not purchase anything.

I don't think it's meant to be serious. It's a comment on Microsoft laying off their staff and stuffing their Azure and Dotnet teams with AI product managers.
