Microsoft's Azure cloud felt the ripple effects of a string of undersea fiber cuts in the Red Sea on September 6, 2025, as traffic carrying vital Asia–Europe and Middle East connections was forced onto longer, more congested routes — a stark reminder that even the largest cloud platforms remain...
Microsoft’s Azure cloud briefly showed the limits of virtual resilience when several undersea fiber-optic cables in the Red Sea were cut on 6 September 2025, forcing traffic onto longer detours, producing higher-than-normal latency for cross‑region traffic, and triggering urgent...
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...
A concentrated cluster of undersea cable failures in the Red Sea has throttled internet performance across South Asia and the Gulf, forcing cloud providers and carriers to reroute traffic and leaving businesses and consumers to contend with higher latency, intermittent packet loss, and slower...

Microsoft’s terse Service Health advisory on September 6, 2025 — warning that “network traffic traversing through the Middle East may experience increased latency due to undersea fiber cuts in the Red Sea” — was the first public signal of a disruption that quickly rippled through global cloud...
Multiple undersea fibre‑optic cables in the Red Sea were severed in early September, producing widespread slowdowns for Internet users and measurable latency for cloud customers — a disruption that exposed how the physical backbone of the Internet can become a single point of failure for modern...
Microsoft’s Azure engineers told customers to expect higher latency after multiple international subsea cables in the Red Sea were cut, then updated their status to show no active Azure platform issues — a rapid swing that highlights both the resilience of modern cloud routing and the fragility...
