Microsoft Azure Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
ChrisK (@cjk365) reported@guyrleech @Azure All of my clients have decided Windows App is a slow, unreliable piece of crap so I now have to wrap their session connections inside a script that checks that the VM(s) they want to connect to are already running and launch the old RD App session connection.
-
Conor O'Neill (@conoro) reportedOf all the hyperscalers, @AzureSupport's refusal to do timely updates on their status dashboard is absolutely enraging. The last time Azure OpenAI had a problem in late October, MS finally updated the dashboard 3 hours after the outage began! Does @Azure even have a NOC?
-
Brad Gessler (@bradgessler) reported@Microsoft @Azure The only thing worse is when you get stuck into their ticketing system, also known as hell. I once was running a project where nothing got fixed because the people working on our case kept leaving to go to other companies and they never replied. Absolutely insanity.
-
🔶Martin Goss🔶 (@MartinGossCol) reported@Azure terrible lack of support for a paying customer. How do I get to speak to a human being please? Seems absolutely useless support.
-
The Duke of Freetown (@Bobbleyofficial) reported@Azure, you want to tell that someone from Afghanistan can create an account with you but a developer from Sierra Leone cannot create an account? Please fix this issue.

*GodsAngel* (@McAfeeKevin) reported@Azure fix your outage please so I can play smite

Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reportedMore worrying - "corrupt" files are full of zeroes & I can reproduce the behaviour 100%! Happens using explorer to copy file to @Azure Files share from Win 11 25H2 AVD session logged on with Entra & authed to share via Kerberos. Dragon drop from local C: to new, empty folder thinks about it for ~1 minute & then says file already exists!! Refresh & it appears but missing icon as empty. WTAF? Different VM to yesterday (same image). Copy with PowerShell & is ok so an explorer issue.

Anne Durgueil (@AnneDurgueil) reported@MSCloud assuming you guys handle Windows365 which is cloud based (and whose principles I love), you may consider using what we called a "transaction processor" although frankly it is very hard these days to find a description that fits what I knew of them when I started coding on IBM mainframes in my teens in the 70s. I'm only saying that because the executables' images these days are so huge and full of useless code you'll fast have huge memory management issues, the same we used to have on our mainframes back in time as we squeezed our code in a few kilobytes. The word transaction processor comes from the fact we mostly coded for banks and insurance companies, where one performed transactions before computing turned up, so it doesn't tell you why it's so great, nor how it works: Despite the fact we had thousands of online users for one tiny computer, there was only one executable image contiguously loaded in memory (maybe two). Each user had a session but all that was kept for each session in resident memory was only the data it used, and the adress (the position) of the next instruction to execute in the executable image for that session. And the beauty of that in a multithreading environment, is that it happens automatically without overbearing thread management. To be honest we coders never had to bother about it all, and Cobol as a programing language was well geared to such a use: working storage was defined before the executable code using those data definitions was lined up, unlike Basic for instance where you could define fields as you went, but where professionals defined them up with comments at the top of the program. (I suppose this can be reshuffled at compilation stage.. yes sorry you need to compile). I Guess object orientation that came a little bit later will fit very well in that framework. We used IMS and CICS on IBM, and ACMS on DEC VAX/VMS.

oesnada (@oesnadaki) reportedThe European Commission is moving to designate @awscloud and @Azure as gatekeepers under the Digital Markets Act, a shift that signals the end of the unregulated era for cloud infrastructure. By forcing these platforms to adopt strict interoperability and data portability standards, the EU aims to dismantle the technical and contractual lock-in that has long defined the enterprise cloud market. This regulatory expansion means $AMZN and Microsoft will likely be forced to overhaul how they bundle services and manage customer transitions to competitors. The upcoming preliminary finding marks a significant escalation in antitrust pressure on $MSFT and the broader cloud sector.

Mattar Consulting SRL (@Mattar_Consult) reportedManual expense processing slows teams down. When Ramp faced this problem, it turned to the Microsoft Azure AI Platform to automate 5M receipts each month - saving the company 30,000 hours of work. 😱 Read the story to understand how AI makes it possible. @Azure
-
Conor O'Neill (@conoro) reportedFor anyone checking on here - Yes @Azure OpenAI in Europe is still shagged. Despite what the @AzureSupport "status" page says. Mostly fixed by 13:30 GMT+1 except West Europe. But since 15:42 GMT+1 Sweden, UK South and West Europe all bad again. p95 response time of 78 seconds!

Rack Systems (@RackSystemsLtd) reportedWhen manual finance work piled up, Ramp built a custom OCR tool with Microsoft Azure AI to automate it. 📄 Read this customer story for ideas on using Azure AI to support similar goals. @Azure #Microsoft

Damian Figiel (@DamianCTO) reported@Azure just lost its most valuable competitive edge. @OpenAI officially ended its cloud exclusivity with Microsoft. Their models can now be deployed on any cloud provider, and AWS CEO @ajassy already confirmed GPT models are coming to Bedrock "in the coming weeks." This was always going to happen. You can't build a $150B AI company and let one vendor own your distribution channel forever. The 2019 Azure exclusivity deal made sense when OpenAI needed survival compute. In 2026, it was just dead weight. The real lesson is that single-cloud dependencies in AI were always a bad bet. Model access, GPU availability, data sovereignty, you want optionality in all three. Anyone who locked their AI stack to Azure assuming exclusivity would last is doing some uncomfortable math right now. Is your AI stack still locked to one cloud or are you already spreading the risk?

Soru Soran Adam (@SoruSoran_Adam) reportedI felt really bad when I switched from Azure DevOps to AWS. Why did AWS create such terrible interfaces for DevOps / Dev Teams ? Constantly defining permissions with JSON is so tedious. It'll take a little while to get used to it. @awscloud @Azure
-
αλλοδαπός (@realPaulMJ) reported@JoshuaKhane This is fake as ****. Microsoft did not send this. It looks like a lot of people are buying it, too, which is damaging. @MSCloud
-
Customer Outrage (@customeroutrage) reported@EnglishHeritage your membership login/setup is completely broken this evening. Heads-up that’s down to @Microsoft @Azure b2c issues. I think the error code in the browser console (not visible to average user) means English Heritage has an expired or invalid client cert.

Lurus (@LurusCode) reported@Azure Please fix token caching for GPT 5.6 models at the response api. It is not usable at the moment 🫤

Brad Gessler (@bradgessler) reported@cpinto @Azure @googlecloud Unbelievable. I bet it's still broken 6 months from now.

PeterD (@PitiDuong) reported@Azure How can I know which projects are receiving your support?

Electronic Intelligence Agency (@EI3065) reported@Azure @LinkedIn prevents acess for selected nationalities with programers doing imposible security checks on login; on repeat level of app becomes low of low for conflict

Fabien Snauwaert 🇫🇷🇺🇸 🇪🇸🇭🇺🇷🇺 (@fabiensnauwaert) reportedMy experience with @Azure: - Pay USD 123.58/mo for Postgres - Server gets stuck on restart. Cannot access it. Gotta contact support. - Pay $29 to contact support. But that's business hours only, and it's 2 AM. - Pay $100/mo to reach 24/7 support. - SLA is 1h. Get a response 2h later. - Request a refund. Get ignored for 13 days. - Escalate the ticket. - Receive 5 full-page apology emails, all expecting a response. - Server still not stable. - Upgrade to USD 218.48/mo. This is the kind of nonsense @levelsio warns about. Meanwhile, Hetzner would cost ~€40/mo.
