Microsoft Resolves Azure Outage Affecting Multiple Services
Services Restored After Hours-Long Disruption
Outage Impacted Users Across Europe and Asia
Microsoft's Azure cloud services have been restored after an outage that affected customers worldwide on Thursday. The tech giant said late on Thursday that "customers may experience intermittent issues logging into Microsoft 365 services." The outage prevented users from accessing Microsoft Teams, Outlook, OneDrive, and other services for several hours.
The widespread outage also disrupted Microsoft Windows users, with reports of "blue screen of death" (BSOD) errors in the US. Microsoft has acknowledged the issue and has provided an update on the root cause of the outage.
According to Microsoft, the outage was caused by a "configuration change" that affected the authentication service for Microsoft Azure. The company has since rolled back the change and is working to prevent similar issues in the future.
Microsoft has apologized for the inconvenience caused by the outage and has thanked its customers for their patience. The company has also provided guidance on how to resolve any lingering issues.
