Tell HN: Azure outage

Posted by tartieret 10/29/2025

Azure is down for us, we can't even access the azure portal. Are other experiencing this? Our services are located in Canada/Central and US-East 2

MS website seems to be up but really slow. Think xbox might still be down, Bing works for some reason tho!?

Luckily, no one uses azure and it's fully expected from azure to go down all the time! Keep it up!

>Last week AWS, now this.

This is not the first or second time this happened, multiple Hyperscaler failed one by one.

Appears to be an issue in Front Door. Our back end stuff is fine but FD is bouncing everything.

Yeah, I have non prod environments that don't use FD that are functioning. Routing through FD does not work. And a different app, nonprod doesn't use FD (and is working) but loads assets from the CDN (which is not working).

FD and CDN are global resources and are experiencing issues. Probably some other global resources as well.

Hate to say it, but DNS is looking like it's still the undisputed champ.

it took a good half hour after we detected the problem to see a notification on the Azure status page. Thanks to those who responded to my question as it validated the issue was global and we contacted our users t right away

Always in these large provider outages you see people who have forgotten the old ways.

Many (all?) LinkedIn profiles are also down for me. Luckily the frontpage still works. ;-)

Go cloud!

Luckily?

Earnings report today. A coincidence?

I can at least login to Azure. But several MS sites are down.

Yeah, Azure is a mess today. Can't do anything without the portal.

vscode.dev appears to be down. I think this will be my excuse to find an alternative -- I never really liked vscode.dev anyway.

(Coder is currently at the top of the experiment list. Any other suggestions?)
