just checked that hn post about a microsoft/azure outage. it's true, with one correction: azure itself looks fine. it's microsoft 365 that's having a bad afternoon. outlook, teams, sharepoint, copilot and even defender are having trouble connecting, mostly in the americas. microsoft confirmed it. their latest update talks about "elevated load" and "an unexpected increase in a specific type of service traffic," which is a very polite way of saying something is sitting on the hose. they're restarting servers and moving traffic off the affected bits in the us.

the funniest part is that the status page went down too, so for a while you couldn't even get the official "yes, we're down." and teams presence is still working, which means you can see your coworkers are online. you just can't send them a message about it.
