Looks like Azure is experiencing a major outage, but I cannot find anything about it.
If you look at downdetector.com you'll notice reported outages from OpenAI, Microsoft 365, XBox Live, Walmart, the list goes on.
- colinbartlett 2y agoIf nobody minds a plug: My own product, StatusGator, which was launched here on HackerNews 10 year ago, notifies IT teams about outages before they are acknowledged by official status pages. - This OpenAI outage[1] we notified 4 minutes before they acknowledged. - The last AWS outage[2], we notified 28 minutes before they acknowledged - There is def an Azure outage[3] now yet they have still not updated their status page.

- jmpman 2y agoBtw, tried to sign up and got a message that it would send me an email to confirm my login. Instead what I received was an email pointing me to a video demo. Not sure if simply clicking on that link was enough to confirm my email. That’s outside of a normal workflow.
- colinbartlett 2y agoSounds like you got the onboarding email but not the confirmation email. It should have a subject of "Confirm your Account". Email us hi@statusgator.com if you still have issues.

- nialv7 2y agoPower outage seems really odd. Don't datacenters usually have multiple redundant power supplies + on-site backup power generation? Maybe power "incident" mean something else?
- tgsovlerkhgsel 2y agoThings happen, e.g. the redundant system also failing, the system that should handle the failover failing, a short circuit that causes enough chaos that the redundant supply shuts down rather than feeding power into a potential fault, ...

- jasonjayr 2y agoI had equipment at a colo facility -- that had a (licensed, bonded, not fly-by-night) electrical tech accidentally drop a tool into the main bus connecting mains, generators, and batteries.
