US Central Azure cloud is down also, must be related: https://azure.status.microsoft/en-us/status

    I suppose this explains why OneDrive is down.

    Attempting to save to my OneDrive folder on my Mac gets an error in Excel, and suggests that I save a copy to somewhere else.

    Attempting to view my OneDrive files via the web interface shows no files and then eventually says something went wrong. Retrying cycles among different errors includes GeneralError, ServerTooBusy, and telling me to make sure I don't have any firewall or plugins that could be blocking access to api.onedrive.com.

    GitHub Actions is also degraded, coincidence?

    For me, pipelines are queuing and not even scheduling jobs on self hosted runners.

    They're claiming only Central US is having issues on the cloud side. But, the portal itself is also having trouble loading pages and "global" services like identity management.

    Wider than DevOps. My entire company has been dead in the water for over 2 hours.

    It's funny how this story has not that much traction because it is Azure ... if it was AWS, half of the internet would be in flames.

    Airports are also at a standstill. Handwriting tickets in KC at the moment and “awaiting the manifest before we can board” - where do you think they store that manifest, a drawer in Mr Airline’s basement?? Uhhh same place as their entire system, which is DOWN

    ADO vs Teams, who takes the crown for worst software of all time?

    Guessing this is related: Minecraft is down, and possibly other games that use XBox Live Login: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live-status

    "You may not be able to sign-in to your Xbox profile, may be disconnected while signed in, or have other related problems. Features that require sign-in like most games, apps and social activity won't be available."

    We definitely won't be getting a postmortem.

    My web interface and pipelines appear to be down, but it seems like git operations are still working.

    Frontier Airlines is dead in the water...

    >Our systems are currently impacted by a Microsoft outage, which is also affecting other companies. During this time booking, check-in, access to your boarding pass, and some flights may be impacted. We appreciate your patience.

    Xbox Live was totally messed up earlier, I bet it's related.

    It seems like Azure DevOps migrated to some new login mechanism recently which is visibly slower than the old one, and I was seeing random failures prior to today.

    This seems to be affecting Windows VMs hosted in AWS, as well. I'm seeing status check failure for Windows VMs across multiple AWS accounts in our Org.

    What could possibly cause this kind of outage? Loss of a datacenter? Physical problem?

    How can a "DNS" problem (or something similar) be this widescale?

    VSCode extension marketplace is also unaccessible
