Before anyone mentions how reliable Google Cloud is, here's a massive outage from June this year:

If you're a journalist writing about this Azure outage, don't forget to ask Microsoft how much of their code is "AI-generated".
Satya Nadella claims 30%:

Folks, it's all okay! It was just an inadvertent configuration change [that happened to bring loads of services for millions of users down]. No biggie.

Look, this is the level of professionalism we should expect of Microsoft at this point.
They had a separate global outage of Office 365 (or whatever it's called this week) *this month* already:

https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2025/03/01/microsoft-outages/3061740867107/Not to mention smaller ones, like the one in US-East that prevented admins from accessing the admin center:

@rysiek Next time it’ll be an advertent change, just to keep it fresh.

They should at least reduce the "365" by one, for every outage.

@mms Downdetector-dot-com is crowdsourced I believe, and my hot-take-hypothesis at this point is that a lot of services rely on AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure all at the same time, and when one goes down, these services go down as well.
From there it's easy for folks to make incorrect assumptions.

Two price hikes, three major outages…
Microsoft will have to hike the price again just to keep the ratio at 1:1!

This might be a good time to consider deploying, contributing to or otherwise supporting @nextcloud:
https://nextcloud.com/And before anyone says that Nextcloud's UI/UX is lacking: of course it is! Nextcloud has several orders of magnitude less money to throw at UI/UX.
But guess what:
1. this is fixable if they get more resources to work with;
2. every single Nextcloud instance I know of or use (there are many) stayed up and running yesterday.

Am I reading this right? Global – pardon, "non-regional" – #outage of #Microsoft #Azure was caused by a tenant changing their config? 👀

These massive "cloud" outages will continue to happen, inevitably, because they are "normal accidents":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_AccidentsAny system that:
- is complex,
- is tightly coupled, and
- has catastrophic potential…can be expected to experience catastrophic failures. AWS, Google Cloud, #Microsoft #Azure check all these boxes.
Fun fact: Internet was specifically designed to *not* be like that. It was designed to be loosely coupled.
But that's not as good for maximizing shareholder value!
