Microsoft Azure Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
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?

Florian Bador (@florianbador) reported@Azure : Remove this insanity of #AuthenticatorApp! I created a new biz account for some emailing, put the debit card, then the login forces to setup that stupid app, but I don't own a smartphone (and won't borrow anyone's). I tried to call support but got disconnected, calling again leads nowhere. At this point I could not even cancel the membership because I cannot login... Madness! Just let the customer decides what they want as 2FA!!! They know better, you control-freaks. So what am I supposed to do at this point? Cannot login, cannot setup auth app, cannot even cancel because cannot login, cannot open a case online because cannot login, and no "Use another way" option to skip this silly Auth-App setup, and no Desktop App either since I run exclusively on Linux.... Why so complicated??? Keep It Simple Stupid. @Microsoft @Outlook

Technophile (@Technop54777070) reportedWorking on setting up disaggregated deployment of azure local connected to pure storage. I see the vision but holy crap the initial config is painful 😭 @Azure

Chris Gates (@chrisgatesjr) reported@weezerOSINT Now imagine how much big companies pay for defender for business or e3 and e5 just to have the thing they pay for help hackers deliver the virus LMAO @Microsoft @Azure fix your ****

Syed Sameer (@syedsameer2024) reported@AzureSupport @Azure We joined for startup support, but unexpected charges we thought Azure credits covered put us at risk of suspension. We’re unable to pay now and request a review of these charges plus an extension or relief. We value long-term partnership. #Azure #Startups

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.

The President of Earth ☀️ (@ProftranDotCom) reported@benshapiro @Azure Poor recent Boeing products, poor reliability recent cars and pickup trucks correlate with the adoption of MS @Azure and exponential growth of MSFT. Does this make sense?

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.

Jason Fleagle (@jjfleagle) reported@Azure Evaluation to enforcement is the right loop. Agent trust is not a one-time test; it needs repeated policy checks, runtime controls, and evidence that the fix actually changed behavior before the agent gets more scope.
-
Flexsin Inc. (@Flexsin) reported@Azure Confidential Computing was built for this exact problem. Your data stays encrypted while it's being processed – locked inside hardware-level trusted environments. The cloud provider can't see it. The host OS can't see it. Nobody can. Overhead: under 8% #MicrosoftAzure

Vikas Mishra 🇮🇳 (@VikasMi34498235) reported@AzureSupport @Azure @MicrosoftLearn I have been trying to resolve a certification issue for the last 20 days but it is still not resolved.Ticket: 2602180030002690.i did NOT delete my Microsoft Learn profile. I recently left my previous org HCL, and my company email may have been deactivated.

deepak yadav (@yadavd4631) reportedHey @Azure @MicrosoftForStartups — your startup credit application asked for NOTHING except a verified LinkedIn. I gave it. Got rejected. No reason given. No next steps. Nothing. How is a founder supposed to fix something when you won't say what's wrong? #Azure #Microsoft
-
ThePunKing (@The_PunKing) reported@Azure making shift-enter run queries is the most dangerous thing in the world. Holy crap! DELETE FROM <enter> students <shift+enter> WHERE <enter> id = 327 Sincerly, Someone who is thankful he is only selecting in this azure interface

lolipopp (@lovisapnew) reported@Azure COPILOT IN AZURE IS USELESS AS HELL, IT DOESN’T SOLVE ****. IT FEELS LIKE AN AI MADE BY A 12-YEAR-OLD. If you offer Azure for Students, why the hell don’t the regions allow you to create free virtual machines? What the hell are those services even for?? screw all of you.

Mani (@manitofighh) reportedHow Azure billed us $25,000 > Be me > run experiments across AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure > script terminates all instances across all cloud providers > Normal charges from AWS and GCP after instances are termianted > 12 days later, get a notification about a $25,000 bill from Azure > Thinking we got hacked > The Azure dashboard makes it IMPOSSIBLE to figure out *what exactly* was incurring charges. Just a bunch of generic cost break-down > Finally figure things out and delete all resources in the resource group that was previously turned off > Somehow, half the instances were off but not "deallocated" and half were both off and deallocated (but the script used the same command for all instance terminations??) > Ask Azure to dispute charges because this makes no sense > Azure closes ticket without a resolution??? > Reopen ticket > Azure: Sorry, we understand, but nothing we can do > ?????????????????????? @Azure @Microsoft this literally rips apart our research funding and limits our future projects. This is the most messed up way to bill off of weird policies like this

Mouhab Tarek (@MouhabTarek) reportedFirst attempt: 2014. Graduation project. An @Xbox @kinect + @Azure remote rehab system — inspired by patients in Cairo who couldn’t reach physio clinics through the traffic. Microsoft noticed. Then my career took over. But the I never let go the idea.
-
A1g0rithmIc (@A1g0rithmIc) reportedEnterprise AI vendors have a credibility problem when they sell broad use intelligence while their own product documentation is inaccurate. If the system’s deterministic behavior is already codified, documenting it clearly in natural language should be table stakes in this world... 👀 @Azure @MSCloud 👀

Vishal (@Vishhallu) reportedAnna University’s result server has been down for 16 hours straight Millions of students vs one sad little server. Maybe it’s time for an intervention? @AWSCloudIndia @Azure @digitalocean
-
Donnie (@towndrunk) reportedHad to contact support to transfer my @Azure grant. Support was super responsive! But now it won't let me apply the sponsor credits to my billing profile. Lol I'm trying to build @Copilot support agents for staff at the homeless shelter I work at. Pls fix.
-
Cory B🅰️ttles (@CoryBattles) reported@Azure what an awful product for anyone with less than a doctorate to try to use. Days wasted, even with Claude's help. Endless circles of conflicting errors and rabbit holes. Support dead ends. Insanely frustrating. Claude's suggestion...give up, cut your losses, move on.
-
Kodeus (@TheKodeusLabs) reported@NVIDIADC @Azure Infra is scaling fast to bring agents into production, but infrastructure alone doesn’t solve the core problem running agents is one thing, trusting their execution is another.
-
Gopal Das (@igopaldas) reported@AzureSupport @Azure TrackingID#2605090030001227 I have been wrongly billed and my credit card is wrongly charges multiple times very poor response from billing support team. Azure cloud billing is all fake and it is an scam to individual customer
-
atulsharma (@twitatulsharma) reported@Office @MSCloud @MicrosoftHelps Microsoft team it’s been a month. My 20 employees as waiting to get an email id. Your support is too slow to fix my licensing issue. I can’t buy more licence bcoz of some error and your team just capturing my logs. TrackingID#26052500300052
-
Neon Cosmo (@VowOfJudgment) reported@Azure The latest official Edge build can't synchronize Profiles with old MS Accounts like @live.com.ar We've had these accounts for around 20 years, and spent a lot of money on MS Store purchases. If #Microsoft does not fix this it's plain theft.
-
Mecha-Pango (@mechapango) reported@genspark_ai @Microsoft @Azure Excel gets AI to fix formulas nobody understood in the first place. Redemptive arc.
-
Decent Cloud (@DecentCloud_org) reported@florianbador @Azure Login requires a phone you don't have. Cancellation requires login. Support tickets require login. Every exit goes through the same locked door.
-
Ganesh Behera (@ghbdigital) reportedDisappointed with @Azure support. Our application has been down for over 16 hours, we have received no proper revert, and the support flow did not even allow us to select the right severity for a business-critical outage. Startups need better than this. #Azure #Microsoft

Poletto (@Its_Alan_Paul) reported@msft4startups @Azure We need more support
