Summary
Microsoft's Azure cloud services faced a global outage, impacting users' ability to access multiple Microsoft 365 services and features. The issues started around 1130 UTC, and affected areas included Portal connectivity and visibility of various resources. Microsoft attributed the problems to its network infrastructure and Azure Front Door service, exacerbated by an unexpected usage spike. Despite implementing network configuration changes and failovers to provide relief, users continued experiencing intermittent errors and latency. Microsoft's ongoing efforts to restore service include additional mitigation measures, though side effects persist in specific regions. The outage also disrupted crucial services such as the UK Court system. Microsoft is actively monitoring the situation to ensure full recovery.
