Your multi-cloud monitoring is broken when AWS CloudWatch shows everything's fine, Azure Monitor is screaming alerts, and your app is actually down. Three different dashboards, zero unified visibility. 🧵 1/9

For #BlackOps7, is there any plan to upgrade the servers or to swap over to #Microsoft #Azure servers? If you are coming down hard on the cheating issue and it isn't as bad as it seems, then it's the servers that are leading to the perception that cheating is so widespread. This

Hi @AzureSupport! I had trouble logging into the Azure portal, and I also experienced crashes in my App Services and Azure SQL. Did something happen? Do you have any outage reports? This was in the East US 2 region.

Dealing with an incident since noon on Azure App Service in USCentral. One instance out of three went rouge on CPU saturation - problem only happens on that instance because when scaling up or down on size allocate new instance problem gone. There is no easy way

Is @Azure down? I am not able to login the account. Please HELP cc: @AzureSupport

Half of my servers are down in Azure tonight…it’s gonna be a late night. 😩

Avoid @Azure @AzureSupport at all costs! We pay thousands for their unreliable services which are down again and they refuse to speak to you unless you pay them more money and then when you pay they still won't speak to you . . . THIEVES!

Didn’t plan to but spent a bunch of time today debugging azure functions that’s just stopped working. Use suddenly decided not to run. Reboot failed. Total history wipe failed. Only recognised 4 functions. Prod slot just not working. Move the prod slot to staging, works. Fine. 🤯

Avoid @Azure @AzureSupport at all costs! We pay thousands for their services which are down due to unplanned maintenance. They refuse to say when they will be working again unless I pay them more money! THIEVES!

A friend runs a startup that has had an unbelievable outage from @Azure - 20 hours over 4 days, getting passed from support rep to rep like a sack of potatoes, after paying for escalated support. Has anyone dealt with these people before? Tips on getting their issue escalated?

Had time to study for an hour or so this morning on the Azure networking stuff. I feel like I really need to nail down what services are regional and which ones you control which AZs services can span across. Those seem like prime exam questions...

hi @AzureSupport, something is not working for me.

never heard of an azure outage, maybe nobody uses it

yo @elonmusk what if @Starlink could be a cloud host competing with AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, etc. and a CDN competing with CloudFlare so that the internet never goes down?

Why would OpenAI be down because of google service. With the Microsoft partnership you would think there would be redundancy on Azure

Today's outage is proof that Microsoft Azure is the best cloud provider

🚨 The internet is breaking, not just one, but outages reported across Google Cloud, AWS, and Azure 😳 Feels like the internet gods hit CTRL+ALT+DELETE on the cloud If your apps are down, you’re not alone. This might be the biggest multi-cloud hiccup in years.

hmm weird The top cloud service providers in India are: Amazon Web Services (AWS) Microsoft Azure. Google Cloud Platform (GCP) went down earlier 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Really looking forward to the postmortem on this one. AWS, Azure, GCP, and Cloudflare all down at once. What single point of failure crosses them all?

huge internet outage and azure is fine. **** my stupid chungus life

Aws, gcp, and azure all going down doesn’t feel like a coincidence

My database (Linux VM on Azure) is down, so tried to remote on, SSH key in OneDrive vault, OneDrive crashes and signs out, now shows blank page for vault unlock, meanwhile Azure db host is refusing to start or stop, no serial console. One of those days.

Azure portal is down? Public holiday innit?

X it’s still not working right! @gork is this because you are moving to your new home?(Azure)
