About Microsoft Azure
Microsoft Azure is Microsoft's cloud platform for virtual machines, storage, databases, networking and AI services that companies use to run their applications. Outages are usually limited to one region or one service, such as App Service or Storage, and sign-in through Microsoft Entra ID can fail separately from the resources themselves. Broad incidents appear at azure.status.microsoft, while Azure Service Health in the portal shows issues affecting your own subscriptions.
