Azure Went Dark
And down went all Microsoft 365 services around the world. One popular argument against putting your business trust in the cloud is that if your hyper-cloud provider goes down, so does your business.

https://thenewstack.io/microsoft-azure-provides-another-cloud-home-kubernetes/ went down and along with it went Microsoft 365, Exchange Online, Outlook, SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, https://thenewstack.io/github-copilot-a-powerful-controversial-autocomplete-for-developers/, https://thenewstack.io/github-kisses-passwords-goodbye/, and Teams.

Microsoft first reported the problem at 2:31 a.m. Eastern, just as Europe was getting to work.

Microsoft isn’t saying, but my bet, as a former https://thenewstack.io/20-years-open-source-admin-engineer/, is it was either a Domain Name System (DNS) or Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) misconfiguration.
