bing.com, status.azure.com, status2.azure.com - all down.

Can't sign into portal.azure.com, can't hit Azure File Shares, etc.

The last outage a few days ago was enough for my company to up and move most of our stuff to AWS. This new outage is enough for us to fully migrate away from Azure.

What a cluster.

Speaking of this. There is always this kind of conclusion every time there is a major outage on a cloud provider. I am not sure one is better than the others. Though, I would prefer to rely on facts and numbers instead of feelings. So, is there a website that monitors and keeps track of this kind of major outages for all the 3 big Cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP)? So that we can compare their resilience?

Cortana's revenge for Microsoft shutting her down.

Cortana's Revenge would be a great name for a System Shock style thriller.

Siri Skynet Cortana sounds like a female italian mob lawyer from an anime.

Instead of going from relying on a single provider to relying on a single provider, you could use both AWS and Azure.

The solution may have a serious cost depending on your architecture. You will have to make sure it is worth the investment. Replicating and keeping a whole infrastructure stand-by is not an easy job for an one-hour outage. Sometimes, it is not the right solution either. It really depends on the business you are in.

It's also possible that you could accidentally stumble into a situation where doubling your presence also doubles the risk of significant problems.

It’s Microsoft.
