About this tag
Discussions on WindowsForum about cloud incidents focus on real-world disruptions to Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 services. Recent threads cover latency spikes caused by undersea cable cuts in the Red Sea, which forced Azure traffic onto longer routes, and a North American outage tied to an Azure Front Door failure that affected Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive. These incidents highlight how submarine cable damage and edge-network faults can degrade cloud performance. The tag brings together troubleshooting reports, impact analyses, and mitigation steps for Azure and Microsoft 365 users experiencing service interruptions.
