Was interesting watching this happen today at a large Fortune xx that is a year or so in to wide scale Azure rollout. Took out Outlook, Teams and all meetings over the course of 5 minutes, then moved on to internal service alarms going off across multiple (10+) major customer facing digital products that got vaporized due (presumably) to various dependencies on AD. I think some of this was service accounts on backend that lost connection to various dbs, file systems, etc. What a total shit show. Company basically down from 2pm CST and barely coming back up 5 hours later. IT Buddy who is 2 people away from CIO pinged me and said “DNS issue, data center power outage or Azure just crapped its pants.”
