Thousands of users affected by Microsoft Azure outage
Microsoft Azure was down for thousands of users on Wednesday due to issues with its domain name system.
Microsoft said it was "investigating an issue with the Azure Portal where customers may be experiencing issues accessing the portal". It later said a fix had rolled out to solve the issue.
Azure was down for more than 105,000 users, Downdetector, which tracks online outages, said on X. It said Microsoft 365 was down for nearly 9,000 users.
The tech company said it was reviewing reports of an issue impacting Azure and services, including an impact on the Microsoft 365 admin center. A Microsoft spokesperson told Sky News: "We are working to address an issue affecting Azure Front Door that is impacting the availability of some services.
Customers should continue to check their Service Health Alerts and the latest update on this issue can be found on the Azure status page." On Downdetector, a website that tracks online outages, users reported issues with Office 365, Minecraft, X-Box Live, Copilot, Costco, Starbucks, and many other services. Alaska Airlines posted on its X account that the outage is at the heart of problems affecting its systems, including check-in services.
The issue came hours before Microsoft was set to release its quarterly earnings report. Amazon's AWS cloud service faced an outage last week, which caused global chaos on thousands of sites, including some of the web's most popular apps, such as Snapchat and Reddit..
