Microsoft's Azure Portal takes a worldwide tumble

Microsoft's cloud services are having a bad day as users worldwide have reported difficulty connecting to Azure.

According to the company's social media orifice for all things Microsoft365-related, "We're currently investigating access issues and degraded performance with multiple Microsoft 365 services and features."

A glance at the Azure status dashboard indicates that all things Network Infrastructure-related are having issues on a global scale. The company's last message on the matter stated, "We are investigating reports of issues connecting to Microsoft services globally. Customers may experience timeouts connecting to Azure services. We have multiple engineering teams engaged to diagnose and resolve the issue. More details will be provided as soon as possible."

In an unfortunate turn of events, no sooner had Microsoft's Azure Support mouthpiece suggested to users that they test their app's resilience with the Azure Chaos Studio, it appears the company has kicked off its own chaos testing in production.
