Many people are currently experiencing problems accessing websites and online services. This is due to an outage with Microsoft Azure, the cloud platform that Microsoft and numerous other companies rely on to run their websites, applications, games, and other online tools.
Downdetector, which tracks problems with online services as they happen, started showing a major outage with Azure on Wednesday morning. Many services that depend on Azure are still affected.
Microsoft knows about the issue and is working to fix it. They’re posting updates regularly on their Azure status page.
Around 4 PM UTC, we started having problems with Azure Front Door, which caused some services to become unavailable. Some customers may also be unable to access the Azure Portal. If you can’t get into the portal, you might be able to use tools like PowerShell or the command line to access your resources. We’ve taken the portal off of Azure Front Door to try and fix the access issues and are continuing to investigate what happened.
I’m keeping a close eye on how we can automatically switch over our internal services if anything goes wrong with our current system, which uses Azure Front Door. We’re still digging into what caused the recent issues and working on extra steps to make sure things stay stable going forward.
In short, Microsoft is working hard to identify and resolve the problem affecting Azure and its related services. For now, users need to be patient while a solution is being implemented.
The recent Azure outage affected several services, including features within Microsoft Office apps like Word, Excel, and Outlook. It also impacted Microsoft Teams, the company’s AI assistant Copilot, and the Xbox gaming network.
Popular options also include games like Minecraft, as well as digital services from companies such as Capital One, Starbucks, Costco, Xfinity, and Walmart, among many others.
