Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 Experience Instability Following Amazon Outage

The issue arises nine days after Amazon’s cloud, AWS, caused a global outage that impacted various websites and applications. On Downdetector, a site that monitors failures in online services, Azure registered a peak of 713 notifications around 1:50 PM. Microsoft 365 received over 400 complaints. According to the same site, Xbox, also owned by Microsoft, shows instability. ‘Users may not be able to access the Microsoft 365 admin center and may experience delays in accessing other 365 services,’ the company stated on its status page. These computers, typically large devices with high capacity, can be maintained by the company itself at its headquarters or elsewhere.
