Azure Is Down

Summary of Impact: Between 00:57 and 03:40 UTC on 20 Nov 2019, customers and services utilizing Azure Front Door (AFD) services were impacted by an infrastructure service failure. This resulted in a loss of connectivity to multiple services reliant on AFD.

Azure Front Door services provide Edge caching and network entry point services to the Microsoft global network. This issue impacted a large percentage of Microsoft Services, though not all services were impacted. Many impacted services were able to initiate fail over from the AFD platform, providing immediate mitigation to their customers.

Preliminary Root Cause: During a recent periodic deployment, initial safety checks did not detect the issue and prevent the roll out. Monitoring detected once service failure was experienced and alerted engineers.

Mitigation: Engineers immediately initiated deployment rollback procedures to correct the underlying Azure Front Door issue. This was completed at 02:40 UTC on 20 Nov 2019, at which point Impacted services began recovering.

A detailed root cause analysis will be published within 72 hours." https://status.azure.com/en-us/status/history

Funny to me that the cloud companies haven't put their status page on not-their-cloud.
