checked responded in 10002ms

Over the last 7 days, Microsoft Azure has answered our automated checks with 5.7% availability and a typical response time of ~1800 ms. The most recent outage began 2026-08-05 04:47 UTC and is still ongoing (severity: down).

Microsoft Azure is the cloud behind much of the enterprise world and Microsoft's own products, including Microsoft 365 and Entra ID. Identity is its highest-impact dependency, so an Entra incident can block sign-in to Teams, Outlook, and customer applications simultaneously while the compute layer is entirely healthy.

What to do if Microsoft Azure is down for just you
  • Check whether the problem is limited to one region before assuming a global outage, since most cloud incidents are regional.
  • Query a second DNS resolver (1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8) to rule out a resolution problem rather than a provider one.
  • Test from a different network or a machine outside the affected region, which separates a routing issue from a service issue.
  • Look at the provider's own per-service dashboard below, as one product can be degraded while everything else is healthy.
