Yeah, I am guessing it's just a placeholder till they get more info. I thought I saw somewhere that internally within Microsoft it's seen as a "Sev 1" with "all hands on deck" - Annoyingly I can't remember where I saw it, so if someone spots it before I do, please credit that person :D

Edit: Typo!

It's a Sev 0 actually (as one would expect - this isn't a big secret). I was on the engineering bridge call earlier for a bit. The Azure service I work on was minimally impacted (our customer facing dashboard could not load, but APIs and data layer were not impacted) but we found a workaround.

It was here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45749054 but that comment has been deleted.

Seems all Microsoft-related domains are impacted in some way.

• https://www.xbox.com/en-US also doesn't fully paint. Header comes up, but not the rest of the page.

• https://www.minecraft.net/en-us is extremely slow, but eventually came up.

It sure must be embarrassing for the website of the second richest company in the world to be down.

Downdetector says aws and gcp are down too. Might be in for a fun day.

From what I can tell, Downdetector just tracks traffic to their pages without actually checking if the site is down.

The other day during the AWS outage they "reported" OVH down too.

yea I saw that, but im not sure on how accurate that is. a few large apps/companies I know to be 100% on AWS in us-east-1 are cranking along just fine.

Not sure if this is true. I just login to the console with no glitch.

AWS was performance issues and I believe is resolved.

yes, and it seems that at least for some login.microsoftonline.com is down too, which is part of the Entra login / SSO flow.
