Azure is also having issues with deploying and starting virtual machines. EDIT: To those having issues starting/deploying Windows virtual machines in Azure and are using ARM to do so: change the OS type to Linux instead of Windows. This seems to resolve the following issue: > Error: No version found in the artifact repository that satisfies the requested version '' for VM extension with publisher 'Microsoft.WindowsAzure.GuestAgent' and type 'CRPProd'

That may be an interesting effect. People test their failover solutions if one of their provider is down when the provider is not actually down. But when it is actually down, everyone else is executing their failover plan at the same time, and compete for other clouds resources.

  Hence the BS of cloud marketing imagine AWS US-East going down there is no capacity to absorb that anywhere.

    Do you have any numbers/sources to back that up? I find that hard to believe, mainly because US-east1 goes down so much. It's never been hard-down across three AZs level of being down with no EC2 no VPC no nothing, but S3 being down in the whole region is pretty freaking close!

      AWS us-east-2 (Cincinnati) is generally pretty reliable; it pays to use your head and not simply use the defaults.

      There was a leaked dock that detailed AWS datacenters a while back and US-east dwarfed everything else.

        Everything else in AWS maybe, but that's a different claim than the rest of the cloud (Azure, GCP, Oracle...) couldn't absorb that load.

        For each cloud provider spare capacity is portion of their actual capacity so considering anything beyond GCP is not even a thing. Now since most of the spare capacity is being utilized as spot instances there is not that much in reality as many spot workloads are actually cost optimizations and would shift to other types if spot instances are not available.

  Interesting indeed but I doubt that "everyone else" is executing their failover plan, simply because most don't have a failover plan including running on another cloud provider
