A nearly eight-hour outage affected Azure users globally who were using Windows VMs and services dependent on them.
Microsoft customers were hit by a global outage of the company’s Azure virtual machine service — as well as other Azure services — that went on about eight hours. Microsoft’s Azure status page said the VM outage began around 5 a.m. UTC, or just after midnight ET on October 13. Around 8 a.m. ET, Microsoft officials said they had mitigated the impact, and that its engineers „proactively verified the return to full success rate for operations after the updates were completed.
