Microsoft’s cloud and security consoles showed fresh instability across January 21–22, 2026: administrators reported intermittent sign‑in failures, blank or erroring admin blades in the Azure and Microsoft 365 portals, and a short-lived 500/502 wave that affected the Microsoft Defender XDR...

Microsoft Copilot briefly went offline for a subset of North American users earlier today before Microsoft confirmed the problem had been fixed after a rollback of a configuration change, a short-lived incident that highlights both how quickly modern cloud services can be recovered and why...

The internet’s backbone showed uncommon fragility in 2025 as a small number of control‑plane failures — DNS anomalies, configuration rollouts and authentication breakdowns — cascaded into outages that took millions of users, thousands of businesses and a chunk of the modern web offline. What...

The internet flickered — and for millions of users and hundreds of thousands of downstream services, it briefly went dark: a cluster of control‑plane and edge failures in late 2025 exposed how modern applications still ride on a handful of fragile primitives such as DNS, global edge routing and...

Microsoft’s Copilot suffered a notable regional outage on Tuesday morning (UK time), leaving users across the United Kingdom — and parts of continental Europe — unable to access Copilot features inside Microsoft 365 apps and the standalone Copilot surfaces, a disruption Microsoft logged under...

Copilot users in the United Kingdom and parts of Europe were briefly locked out of Microsoft’s AI assistant on December 9, 2025, after a surge in traffic overwhelmed autoscaling controls and produced region-specific service failures that were visible on public trackers and acknowledged by...

Microsoft’s Copilot — the AI assistant now woven into Word, Excel, Teams and other Microsoft 365 surfaces — experienced a significant regional outage that left users unable to complete Copilot-driven tasks and raised fresh questions about resilience, routing complexity and the operational risks...

Websites and services around the world that rely on Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure recovered after a high‑profile outage on October 29, 2025, which left high‑traffic sites — including airline check‑in pages, major UK banks, large retailers and gaming services — intermittently unreachable for...

Microsoft’s cloud fabric tripped in plain sight on October 29 when an inadvertent configuration change inside Azure Front Door (AFD) produced DNS, TLS and routing anomalies that cascaded into an eight‑plus‑hour disruption across Microsoft 365, the Azure Portal, gaming services and thousands of...

For the second time in recent weeks, major cloud infrastructure faults have demonstrated how concentrated, globally distributed cloud platforms can cascade into large-scale outages that stop businesses, governments and consumers in their tracks. Background In October, multiple high-profile...

The internet flickered and, for millions of users and hundreds of thousands of downstream services, it briefly went dark — first with a major AWS incident in mid‑October and then with a widespread Microsoft Azure outage on October 29 that was traced to a misapplied configuration change in Azure...

Microsoft's cloud backbone entered emergency recovery mode after a pervasive outage centered on Azure Front Door (AFD) disrupted Microsoft’s own services and thousands of customer endpoints worldwide, forcing engineers to roll back to a “last known good” configuration, freeze further AFD...

The internet’s backbone flickered twice in quick succession this autumn, and the world noticed: Amazon Web Services (AWS) suffered a major DNS-linked failure centered in its US‑EAST‑1 region on October 20, 2025, and Microsoft Azure experienced a broad outage tied to an Azure Front Door...

Nine days after a high‑impact AWS outage, Microsoft’s Azure and Microsoft 365 environments suffered a separate, global degradation that again exposed how tightly the internet and public services are bound to a handful of hyperscalers—and why that concentration now reads like a strategic risk for...

Microsoft’s cloud platform experienced a sharp, high‑visibility outage on October 29–30, 2025 after an unintended DNS/routing configuration change to Azure Front Door (AFD) propagated across Microsoft’s global edge fabric. The error produced widespread name‑resolution and routing failures that...

A large, synchronous failure inside Microsoft’s Azure cloud knocked key services offline on October 29, 2025, and — after hours of emergency mitigation work — engineers say the platform has been returned to normal operating levels following a rollback of an unintended Azure Front Door...

Two high‑visibility cloud failures in October produced a familiar and uncomfortable spectacle: millions of users suddenly locked out of services they use every day — from Microsoft 365 and Minecraft to Snapchat and a raft of consumer apps — and companies scrambling to explain how a few lines of...
