Critical
Azure Front Door - Connectivity issues

Starting at approximately 16:00 UTC, customers and Microsoft services that leverage Azure Front Door (AFD) may have experienced issues resulting in latencies, timeouts and errors. We have confirmed that an inadvertent configuration change as the trigger event for this issue.
We are taking several concurrent actions: Firstly where we are blocking all changes to the AFD services, this includes customer configuration changes as well. At the same time, we are rolling back our AFD configuration to our last known good state. As we rollback we want to ensure that the problematic configuration doesn't re-initiate upon recovery.
Customers may have experienced problems accessing the Azure management portal. We have failed the portal away from AFD to mitigate the portal access issues. Customers should be able to access the Azure management portal directly, while all portal extensions are working correctly there may be a small number of endpoints that might have a problem loading (i.e. Marketplace).
We do not have an ETA for when the rollback will be completed, but we will update this communication within 30 minutes or when we have an update.
While we dont have an ETA yet. customers can consider implementing failover strategies with Azure Traffic Manager, to fail over from Azure Front Door to your origins: https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/architecture/guide/networking/global-web-applications/overview

The "Inadvertent configuration changes" are pissing me off, because I get the distinct impression they are setting up various Encrypted DNS platforms, which sounds all fine and dandy, until you realize they are doing it only to mask your DNS queries from 3'rd parties so they can better monetize your search history.
It's causing me more than a small headache for a lot of tiny reasons, most of which are things working 99% of the time until I get that perfect use case where the 1% happens to 3 things at once, and I get a panicked call from accounting because the bank rec won't upload...

I need to find a better way of dealing with encrypted DNS queries that doesn't involve decrypting them, because the juggling of the certificates isn't working reliably.

AWS again too

“Thousands of users are reporting problems with Microsoft and Amazon Web Services on Wednesday, days after a widespread outagedisrupted platforms across the internet.

Monitoring site Downdetector showed a spike of about 20,000 users reporting problems with Microsoft's Azure and 365.”

Yeah, I am looking at my firewall logs, and I am seeing an absolute shit ton of sinkholled DNS traffic all to proxy sites like mask.apple-dns.net, or to IP addresses that don't resolve, attempting DNS over SSL or TLS.

F...... I don't want to deal with this today.

I might have to actually bring in a PA engineer to help me configure this "correctly", was hoping to wait and do it as part of my 2026 refresh, but it may not get a chance to wait.

"Microsoft Azure Goes Down and Takes Xbox and 365 With It​

by AleksandarK Today, 13:45 Discuss (1 Comment)
Microsoft Azure is experiencing its first major outage in a while. Around 16:00 UTC, the Azure cloud platform encountered issues that have disrupted numerous Microsoft services and some third-party companies relying on Azure. Affected Microsoft services include the entire Xbox platform, Minecraft, and the Microsoft 365 suite, which encompasses web-based Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Defender, OneDrive, Designer, Clipchamp, and SharePoint. These services have faced outages, causing some to become completely unavailable. As of our latest testing, Microsoft has restored the 365 services, with only third-party services using Azure Networking infrastructure still experiencing downtime.

Right, how can anyone make such a change for such a critical core system, maybe CoPilot just has free reign to do what it wants, like AWS bragging about 70% of there code is done with AI now...
 
I haven't had a job in 8 years, but the last place I worked (Fortune 100 company), my team was switching everything to AWS and Azure. I said it was a bad idea, as it was slower, more expensive, and operations will cease completely with nothing you can do if their services go down. They didn't listen. I'm like, this is a multi-billion dollar company, just keep all the data and services in-house. You already have teams handling the infrastructure, there's literally no reason to switch. I bet they're having fun right now.
 
Yea, we down. Not my issue, nothing I can do about it but sit back and wait on them to recover I guess. Welcome to 3rd parties control everything now. At some point people might start bringing all this stuff back in....until they figure out you have to pay to get your data back out.

OK, hear me out.
Why if Judgement Day was a lie....
AI was never exterminating people. What if AI were just unleashed on the Internet, and it started identifying and terminating the bots.
So all the reports of "AI is killing people" were just online "influencers" seeing their collective audiences disappear and being unable to cope with the reality that they were never popular to begin with.
