Satya’s probably banging hot Pakistani honeypot babes
I fell of my chair laughing, thank you kind internet stranger
I love you.
I guess this is what you get when your single-point-of-failure is a 3rd party cloud service.
Everyone was convinced to move everything to "The Cloud" to avoid single points of failure. And then everyone placed everything in us-east-1/East US. So now the entire internet falls over when a cardinal farts in Northern Virginia.
That’s AWS.
That's why I wrote "us-east-1/East US", the "East US" part is Azure in Northern Virginia.
That causes a global outage?
Obviously.
Who let all the network engineers take PTO all at once? Is there a furry convention happening right now?
Life is my furry convention
It looks like most of the internet is down:
I haven’t had any issues with Google/gmail/aws/cloudflare today. I wonder if those are trending up due to people not being able to access MFA codes due to email 2FA or Microsoft Authenticator being down.
Entra isn’t down I would expect mfa to be up too.
Can’t even get bread bowl soup right now.
Yes there is a MS outage right now. All outlook mail is down. Their status page is down too
I thought the entire point of a company running their own exchange server was that they don't need to rely on MS, and a fuckup at MS doesn't take down every company around the world
Exchange is complex enough that you need a team of people to maintain it.
It’s also exposed to the internet and to end users in such a way that makes it a security target.
Keeping up with it is/was difficult, and the cost to have Microsoft do it is pretty cheap all things considered.
Every once in a while a competitor shows up but really the last competitor was groupwise.
DevOops, why break one system at a time when you can break them in batches.
Or the oh no second as Tom Scott called it.
Their outage page needs an outage page.
Still out lmao
Still, by the way.
We're continuing our work to isolate the issue affecting server availability, as well as other workstreams
Lol
damn, dogfooding slop into infrastructure everyone relies on might not be worth paying for.
