Global network outage hits Microsoft: Azure, Teams, Outlook all down
Microsoft is currently rolling back a network change across its wide area network that it believes toppled over a raft of its cloud services this morning, perhaps in solidarity with the company's tumbling profits.
Users all over the world are venting their anger on social media at not being able to send or receive email, connect to Teams meetings or access many other services. The problems started at around 0705 UTC on January 25 and involved issues with network connectivity for millions of users of Azure, Teams and Outlook, when they attempted to connect with Azure resources, which naturally includes Microsoft's cloud-hosted services.
It appears the cause of the issue is a networking configuration change, with the Windows giant admitting:"We've identified that a wide-area networking routing change caused impact to the service. We've rolled back the change and monitoring the service as it recovers. Some of the customers who had previously reported impact are also reporting recovery."being one who said that:"VPN, SQL, Web Apps all affected.
A more recent status update from Microsoft stated that:"Our telemetry shows consistent signs of recovery from 0945 UTC onwards across multiple regions and services. Most customers should now see full recovery as WAN networking has recovered fully."
