Worth noting that my GPs systems are all down and so people trying to make an appointment will be unable to right now. Hopefully hospitals aren’t as severely impacted.
Does “Microsoft taking mitigation” mean they’ve been affected, or is the BBC saying the outage originates with Azure?
edit: Sky’s back up.
Due to fly later today. Hope it gets resolved soon!
This doesn’t make much sense. Its a single region in Azure in the US. Why are companies running services in the UK affected? If they had a dependency on a single Cloud region, half way around the world, well, it wouldnt surprise me, but thats a total failure on the companies part (not the Cloud provider)
Transpennine Express have reported service issues and in other news, there is an IT outage.

Crowdstrike appears to have bricked most of the world’s Windows PCs
this is the digital equivalent of turning up to work and it having burned down
Can we have ONE DAY without any disastrous outages or historical events PLEASE 🤦♂️
Russia is at it. I suspect this is another act of war against the west
US just grounded all flights, having flashbacks of 9/11 here
And this is why “cloud computing” should never have happened.
Only takes a single point of failure and we have chaos across the board instead of individual services.
The best bit is, these cloud providers cost more than hosting and maintaining your own servers.
It is the biggest con of the 21st century.
“Oh but cloud computing is distributed across multiple data centers and regions so outages don’t happen” yea no clearly not when stuff like this happens. They either don’t implement redundancy across multiple regions or the failover does not work because of the cloud provider.
I have hosted dedicated servers for 20 years and have more uptime than AWS, Azure and Cloudflare and I don’t have redundant servers.
That should give you an idea of how trash these overpriced services are..
On my way to work at an American owned bank, can’t wait to find out if we’re affected.
Airlines are down, doctors are down, transport systems are down, but of course my office job systems are working perfectly fine. Could have done with a nice Friday off, not going to lie.
