Is Microsoft Azure down?

With Managed Identities and AAD auth on nearly every @azure service, there’s little reason to mess with keys at all these days. And if you do need keys, use a Managed Identity and pull them from Key Vault.

@rammesses @Azure @MicrosoftIoT How did I never see this question Joel!? Either way... They're custom made by a company I consult for... I've asked before if they'd sell them and it's not a priority for them at the moment... They're cool tho!

@DaveRndn @BicepLang @Azure I was wondering if they'll implement support for third party registries as well?

@JessicaMulein @Azure It is starting to make sense to me why I've had devs just build stuff in GCP and ask for support after the fact even when we had corporate AWS and Azure envs already set up.

@Azure what you say, only if you pay big bucks you can get decent security, your business model is flawed, this is both bad for you and your customers @shanselman

At @Azure it is shamefull that u only get full security best practices by choosing the highest tiers, very toxic service model @hboelman @vpikula

Spent some hours with @Azure App Services today and I'm convinced that the designers of this service hate [ruby on rails] developers with intensity. A small rant 🧵follows..

Just realized that @azure doesn't provide the ability to disable/pause app service webjobs. You have to turn off the entire app service to prevent a scheduled webjob from running. #azure

Why is @azure gateway so difficult to configure... Configuring two Azure app service to use the same URL as multisite is just so tough... @azurefriday is something wrong with Azure Front door??

@joe_elway @Azure @BicepLang If they do that this means that Bicep will not be transparent which means they have to play catchup of every new feature of every API available. It is the App GW team that they should fix their API.

@Azure is the only service where we have to raise support requests and follow up for several weeks, just to pay their bills

@aspnet spent ages today figuring out how to increase max request size for a .net core app running on @Azure app service/IIS Is manually introducing a new web.config file the only way? Is there not a middleware or launchSettings prop that could be used? It seemed longwinded

I thought about spinning an @Azure windows machine. Pretty bummed that @digitalocean don’t support Windows machines :(

I know I posted a "downer" on Terraform recently. But there are some good things that @Azure @BicepLang could learn from. DevSecOps is much easier when elements of resources, e.g. App GW, are broken out from the main resource deployment. #Azure

Anyone seeing @Azure scaling issues? I've just had a serviceplan scale up although the metrics don't support it. I've manually tried to scale down but nothing changed so far.

@brendandburns @Azure @krustlet How much of WASI is supported?, network IO support will open open up a lot more usecases

@Azure was down in APAC many places yesterday as per the update from the users . Are there any reasons on this ?

So riddle me this: If @Azure is capable of soaking up tens of Terabits of DDoS why is a story about it staying online in the face of 2.4Tbps newsworthy and why did it drop the day after an embarrasing global outage of VM services (when the event happened ~2 months ago)?

@QuinnyPig @Azure My CTO came to us today (as we are building in azure now) and asked if we have a DR plan for this kind of outage… No. the answer is no. If Azure VM’s go down globally there is no plan B.

@FirstlightAI @Sportsnet @Azure so far the service has been the worst experience I’ve had in streaming.

@QuinnyPig @Azure IIRC, this dragged on for 9 months. It caused a lot of support calls to independent application vendors whose products relied on email integration or O365 integration, much to their initial confusion.

After more than a week away from coding because of a crazy work schedule, I managed to get back to my app today. Addressed a bug with publishing the thread after login and managed to setup Continuous Integration for the @Azure app #100DaysOfCode #buildinpublic

Hate to take legal action against @azure and @microsoft but their support will not respond to a ticket on a paid SLA. I've never been so disappointed with their support but they are leaving me no choice. #pickUpThePhone

@Azure what is wrong with you people. You steal money of my credit card evry month, I have to get my credit company to charge back. You send me an email telling me to pay, when I login I have no bill, nothing to pay. I dont even have permission to log a support request.

@EmilyGorcenski @QuinnyPig @Azure I work in OT/automation, where everyone is real nervous about this move away from Hyper-V to Azure for VM management. If a biopharm site was shut down for 8 hours because their "INDUSTRY 4.0" VMs became unreachable...., that tree would indeed be heard🤮

@QuinnyPig @Azure To be fair, it was only a problem (re)starting Windows VMs - existing running VMs were fine, and anything running Linux continued to work (chapeau, Microsoft). Cannot tell you how annoying this was in the UK tho. And we make use of different regions (inc. US) for continuity 😖😭

@QuinnyPig @Azure *windows VMs Was sitting here halfway panicking there was an outage I didn’t realize, but then I read the article. Thanks for sharing!

Never thought I’d become a Dev Ops specialist but here I am spending my entire day making @Azure deployments #WorkLifeWeek

@mark_mcgookin @Azure @AzureDevOps Probably related to the VM issues...
