Azure Outage... Again
-
Anyone else seeing issues? Since Microsoft never admits to outages it is difficult to assess if outages are highly localized to a server, account, service type or whatever. Current outage has both VMs themselves down AND the interface unable to display any data (it's blank). Sometimes it is just one or the other, which is much easier to deal with as it allows you to either be up and running and just not make changes, or you can at least see that things are down. But this just acts like Azure is gone completely, no data, no services.
Trying to figure out the scope of the outage. MS has a ticket open, of course, but they never give us the bigger picture. Any one else see issues right now?

Seems like it is time to migrate those remaining machines. Or are they Windows only machines that would be very difficult to license in a different cloud?

This is what I have for Exchange Service health report.

We've never had anything but Windows on Azure (thankfully, as we never run critical workloads on Azure either) but we do have customers that request Azure and they are down. Anything of ours is off of Azure, obviously... we aren't that crazy.

Azure, not Office 365.

Exchange Online is not in Azure?

Your customers request Azure? That seems like one of those, let the IT people make the IT decisions things you mention. Not bashing you or the customer but with all the Azure issues that have been reported, and not just by @scottalanmiller, it seems crazy to jump on the Azure wagon at this point.

Agreed. Sometimes regardless of the heavy amount of logic against it, people want what they want. You can only argue so much with a customer.

You mean that it sounds crazy not to just off of the Azure wagon at this point.

Microsoft says: That they will respond to the outage in eight hours.
Eight hours for Azure being 100% down (within our visible scope?) That's a pretty awful SLA for just checking their tickets to see that their platform has gone offline (within some scope.)

What plan are you on?

This isn't an issue with "our systems", this is a platform level issue. Azure itself is offline right now. The SLA for our own servers isn't relevant.

For all Internet facing Virtual Machines that have two or more instances deployed in the same Availability Set, we guarantee you will have external connectivity at least 99.95% of the time. - http://uptime.is/99.95

Yeah... doesn't really apply when Azure itself is down. The infrastructure is offline. There isn't even a console for VMs to fail over.

Three nines availability is... pathetic.

@scottalanmiller How do you know if affects everyone, and not just you?

Doesn't matter WHO it affects, the issue is the basic platform. Azure, not just our stuff on top of Azure, is gone. I'm asking in this thread what the scope of exposure is, but it simply is irrelevant about the SLA.... there is no product there for us to check in on.

Agreed. Get the client to pay for better support, or fire them.

I just created a VM - no problem seen here....
