Major Microsoft update
Microsoft has shared a major update following the huge outage impacting millions of people this evening.
It appears the major tech firm is actively working to fix the disruption. Microsoft said: “Starting at approximately 16:00 UTC, we began experiencing Azure Front Door issues resulting in a loss of availability of some services.
“In addition, customers may experience issues accessing the Azure Portal. Customers can attempt to use programmatic methods (PowerShell, CLI, etc.) to access/utilize resources if they are unable to access the portal directly. We have failed the portal away from Azure Front Door (AFD) to attempt to mitigate the portal access issues and are continuing to assess the situation.
“We are actively assessing failover options of internal services from our AFD infrastructure. Our investigation into the contributing factors and additional recovery workstreams continues. More information will be provided within 60 minutes or sooner.”
