Tell HN: Azure outage

Yep, down from here too (in Israel).

Services too, not just the portal.

I bet it’s DNS.

[dead]

Yup, see it as well.

Down here too (region West Europe)

Down in Sweden Central as well (all our production systems are down)

For me the same. It's very confusing that status page [1] is green

[1]: https://azure.status.microsoft/en-us/status

This is impacting the Azure CDN at azureedge.net. DNS A records for azureedge.net tenants are taking 2-6 seconds and often return nothing.

Intune, Azure, Entra down in Switzerland

We saw all incoming traffic to our app drop to zero at about 15:45. I wonder how long this one will take to fix.

UK, and other regions too; our APAC installation in Australia is affected.

Ouch, and login.microsoftonline.com too - i.e. SSO using MS accounts. We'd just rolled that out across most (all?) of our internal systems...

And microsoft.com too - that's gotta hurt

As of now Azure Status page still shows no incident. It must be manually updated, someone has to actively decide to acknowledge an issue, and they're just... not. It undermines confidence in that status page.

Portal and Azure CDN are down here in the SF Bay Area. Tenant azureedge.net DNS A queries are taking 2-6 seconds and most often return nothing. I got a couple successful A response in the last 10 minutes.

Edit: As of 9:19 AM Pacific time, I'm now getting successful A responses but they can take several seconds. The web server at that address is not responding.

Unable to access the portal and any hit to SSO for other corporate accesses is also broken. Seems like there's something wrong in their Identity services.

https://azure.status.microsoft/en-us/status says everything's fine! Any place I can read more about this outage?

downdetector reports coincident cloudflare outage. is microsoft using cloudflare for management plane, or is there common infra? data center problem somewhere, maybe fiber backbone? BGP?

It seems Azure FrontDoor is affected, because our private VM works fine in different regions.

Looks like AWS is also impacted?

Sorry - my bad. I literally just connected an old XP VM to the internet to activate it.

Azure portal currently mostly not working (UK)... Downdetector reporting various Microsoft linked services are out (Minecraft, Microsoft 365, Xbox...)

My best guess at the moment is something global like the CDN is having problems affecting things everywhere. I'm able to use a legacy application we have that goes directly to resources in uswest3, but I'm not able to use our more modern application which uses APIM/CDN networks at all.
