For what it's worth, I've been watching several Azure-hosted sites that I control and they've been coming back online sequentially (and are all back online now). Whatever they're fixing, it seems to be taking some time, but is progressing steadily at a good pace in the last hour.
- photorized 12y agoMine have been gradually coming back, too. Timing couldn't have been any better for me. Some Alanis material there: https://twitter.com/bizspark/status/534858596748906496 https://twitter.com/bizspark/status/534858596748906496 Now I'll have to distribute between AWS and Azure, too.
- toomuchtodo 12y agoWhy not stick with AWS? (Just curious!)
- photorized 12y agoThey all have outages periodically, in my experience.
- Encosia 12y agoYeah, that's the main thing to take away from these events. I've never seen a system (cloud, local, co-located, or otherwise) with 100% uptime, despite every effort to the contrary. Even sites like Facebook and Google have downtime. In the last few years that I've been using it, Azure has been at least as stable as other cloud providers. That doesn't help with the awful timing though. Ouch. I just Buffer-retweeted your BizSpark tweet above, scheduled for tomorrow. Maybe a little bump now that you're back up and running will help ease the pain...

- photorized 12y agoThank you.
- osipov 12y agoCheck out Softlayer. It has been more reliable than AWS in my experience.
- toomuchtodo 12y agoReally? I manage several hundred VMs and their associated EBS volumes on AWS and we've had 0 problems. Also no problems with S3. Ever.
