Azure outage - Global


Warning: Virtual Machines - Investigating

Impact Statement: Starting at 07:00 UTC on 13 Oct 2021, a subset of customers using Windows Virtual Machines may experience failure notifications when performing service management operations - such as create, update, delete. Deployments of new VMS and any updates to extensions may fail. Non-Windows Virtual Machines, and existing running Windows Virtual Machines should not be impacted by this issue.

Current Status: We are aware of this issue and are actively investigating the issue. The next update will be provided within 60 minutes, or as events warrant.

Not entirely a global outage, some areas (which are many) has VM 'outages'.

By having a quick glance at the scenario, it seems to be a provisioning issue which would also impact the instances. I won't know. It doesn't seem to be a node issue, so I guess something is being restored.

So glad I have moved on from that second rate "cloud provider".
 
This is why the 'always online' lingo was replaced with cloud.

Back when cloud became a marketed term, it was build on 4 pillars,

1. Availability,
2. Accessibility,
3. Scalability and
4. Redundancy.

Today, traditional hosted services are sold as cloud and I know this very well.

Now, Azure is cloud, but its reliability to promote cloud migration is being tested. Hybrid solutions are key, been saying it since 2012.
 
Current Status: We have identified that calls made during service management operations are failing due to a required artifact version not returning as expected during query. The failure shows that that a required extension cannot be located. We are currently implementing a mitigation option to force a refresh of the extension and are seeing signs of recovery where mitigation has been deployed. We expect recovery to be observed as the mitigation progresses across regions. The next update will be provided within 60 minutes, or as events warrant.

Finally been resolved.

So not just Facebook that goes down.

Problem was the timeframe and scope of it all. We were 2 hours into the mess with responses like "Have you tried another browser".

As per post 7. That one small problem causing problems in each region.

Anybody whos worked with the big 3 knows azure is playing catchup in almost every aspect. The most important for me is stability. Let not even talk about their ability reach their own 9's.
 
AWS at the very least is restricted to a single region and often just to a single availability zone. These kind of things always show you were the likes of MS cut corners so they can try to catch up with AWS
