Major Microsoft Outage
Xbox Live And Teams are down. Not sure what else is affected.
- latentpot 6y agoLegit question, if it is a regional issue, can using a VPN to another Geo be helpful here in getting access to the affected services?
- viraptor 6y agoYes/no. It depends how the services are distributed. For example if this is actually one region that has the issue and your data is stored there, accessing another region's gateway won't help you. But if the service is completely replicated / distributed and it's only the networking of your closest pop that failed, then a VPN helps.
- Thorrez 6y agoEven if it's not completely replicated a VPN might help. For example maybe the local frontends are broken but the local backends are fine. Or maybe the problem is the BGP routes are bad between your ISP and your local frontends, but the BGP routes from your ISP to your VPN and your VPN to the frontends near the VPN are fine.
- partiallypro 6y agoSame here, everything is down. Azure, Office, Bing, etc.
- dengorilla 6y agoWhere were you located?
- partiallypro 6y agoNashville. I got a notice on my Azure Dashboard that East and East 2 were effected. So I'm sure it was mostly an east coast/southern problem.
- nitinreddy88 6y agoEverything is working fine for me (from India). Able to access outlook, teams and Azure resources. Could it be ISP issue in any region?!
- zachberger 6y agoAll fine for me. In Mountain View, CA.
- hew 6y agoCan confirm, see same outage -- started about 20 minutes ago (US East).
- mashi 6y agoI'm not affected at all lol.
- slg 6y agoHN is weird. 5 of the 6 comments in this thread at the time of posting are all talking about whether it is or isn't down for them. This is the only one that is downvoted and it has been downvoted multiple times. It's probably due that single "lol" at the end.
- yodon 6y agoWith the lol and general construction that comment is easy to read as a snarky and unhelpful "Micro$oft $uckz I'd never use it" comment where the other comments read more clearly as "I checked and it appears to not be down here"
- trhway 6y agoIt doesn't have geography to be minimally informative.
- Semaphor 6y agoMy comment does and it’s even further down ;)
- techntoke 6y agoWhen Microsoft services are built around the Windows platform and the experts are used to using GUIs to configure them, you are destined to have outages. Linux services are built with automation and microservices in mind and are much easier to integrate into scalable solutions like Kubernetes.
- Roybot 6y agoAzure status page isn't reporting anything yet. https://status.azure.com/en-us/status https://status.azure.com/en-us/status
- Semaphor 6y agoNothing here. Germany
- kevingadd 6y agoTeams works here in the SF bay area, so does the XBox win10 app. Probably a regional services outage
- stedman_rh 6y agoOutlook and Teams working fine for me in Los Angeles.
- excalibur 6y agoJudging by downdetector MS had some issues from ~10pm - 11:30 Eastern. Seems to be better now.
- vladvasiliu 6y agoOutlook online / Teams / Azure seem OK in France.
- tus88 6y agoAustralia said nah mate, all good down here.
