Major worldwide outages for AAD, CosmosDB, and now DNS in just the past few months so it’s definitely not just you.
Maybe Microsoft should invest less in their shiny new AI/ML platforms and more into stability of their core services.
- beebob 6y agoI'd like to second this. From where I'm sitting it feels like Microsoft is prioritizing marketing more than engineering. It seems like most larger customers that use Azure do so because management got shiny presentations from Microsoft and now it's their "strategical partner". A lot of overselling with huge discounts gets them their in. Already seen this at multiple companies. Azure is a nice platform for your Windows administrators to shift some load to the cloud. But to build large applications on? Edit: And I kinda feel bad for saying this, since I assume that there are indeed pretty competent engineers working on Azure. But somewhere something isn't right.

But seriously, as inflexible, painful and tedious to support our on-prem infra last time we had critical outage was ~3 years ago, for like an hour. We've almost finished migration to azure. I hope this outage and AD outage earlier this month are outliers.
