Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform suffered measurable performance degradation after multiple undersea fiber‑optic cables in the Red Sea were severed on September 6, 2025, forcing large volumes of traffic onto longer, congested routes and exposing brittle points in the global internet backbone...

Multiple undersea fibre-optic cables in the Red Sea were cut on 6 September 2025, triggering measurable slowdowns and intermittent connectivity across South Asia and the Middle East and forcing major cloud and carrier operators — most visibly Microsoft Azure — to reroute traffic, warn customers...

Internet traffic between Asia, the Middle East and parts of Europe slowed sharply after multiple undersea fibre‑optic cables in the Red Sea were severed on 6 September 2025, forcing cloud operators — most visibly Microsoft Azure — and regional carriers to reroute traffic, warn customers of...

A sudden cluster of undersea fiber cuts in the Red Sea has forced Microsoft Azure and other cloud and carrier operators to reroute traffic, producing measurable latency and slower internet performance across parts of South Asia, the Gulf and beyond—an event that exposes how a handful of damaged...

Microsoft Azure users and large swathes of internet users across Asia, the Middle East and parts of Europe experienced measurable slowdowns and elevated latency after multiple undersea fibre‑optic cables in the Red Sea were cut on September 6, 2025, forcing cloud and carrier engineers to reroute...

Microsoft’s Azure cloud experienced measurable slowdowns after multiple undersea fiber-optic cables in the Red Sea were cut on 6 September 2025, forcing traffic onto longer, congested detours and prompting Microsoft to reroute and rebalance traffic while carriers and cable operators plan...

Multiple undersea fibre-optic cables in the Red Sea were cut in early September, producing widespread internet slowdowns and raising fresh questions about the fragility of the global network that underpins cloud services, financial markets and everyday communication across Asia, the Middle East...

Microsoft confirmed on September 6 that multiple undersea fibre‑optic cables in the Red Sea were cut, and warned Azure customers that traffic which “previously traversed through the Middle East” may experience increased latency as packets are rerouted across longer, often congested alternatives...

Microsoft’s cloud backbone entered a period of turbulence this weekend after multiple undersea fiber-optic cables in the Red Sea were reported cut, producing measurable latency for traffic between Asia, the Middle East and Europe and prompting Azure engineers to reroute and rebalance traffic...

Microsoft’s Azure cloud experienced measurable performance degradation after multiple undersea fiber‑optic cables in the Red Sea were cut, forcing traffic to detour around the damaged corridor and producing higher‑than‑normal latency for flows that traverse the Middle East between Asia and...

Microsoft Azure customers worldwide experienced elevated latency and intermittent slowdowns after multiple undersea fiber‑optic cables in the Red Sea were damaged, forcing traffic onto longer detours while Microsoft rerouted and rebalanced network flows and coordinated with carriers and cable...

Microsoft says most Azure services continued operating, but customers experienced higher‑than‑normal latency after multiple international submarine fiber‑optic cables in the Red Sea were severed, forcing traffic onto longer alternative routes while carriers and cloud engineers rerouted...

Microsoft has warned that users of its Azure cloud may see higher-than-normal latency and intermittent disruptions after multiple undersea fiber-optic cables in the Red Sea were cut, forcing traffic onto longer alternate routes while repair work and global rerouting continue. Background The Red...
