Is Microsoft Azure down?

Loading…About Microsoft Azure outages
Microsoft Azure is one of the largest cloud platforms, hosting a huge share of business apps and services. Its regional incidents can cascade into outages across many companies at once, and it shares an identity layer (Entra ID) with Microsoft 365, so sign-in problems sometimes span both.
Microsoft Azure publishes official incident updates at its status page — worth checking alongside our live test above.
Microsoft Azure FAQ
Why did many apps go down when Azure had an outage?
Countless companies run their apps, APIs, and sign-in on Azure, often concentrated in a few regions. A core Azure service incident there ripples into unrelated products within minutes — the Azure status page shows which services and regions are affected.
Is it Azure or Microsoft 365 that is down?
Azure (the cloud platform) and Microsoft 365 (Teams, Outlook, and so on) are distinct but share the Entra ID sign-in system, so an identity incident can hit both. Check Azure status and the Microsoft 365 service health page separately to pinpoint which one is degraded.
Is Microsoft Azure down for everyone or just me?
We test Microsoft Azure (https://azure.microsoft.com) live from our own servers. If our check succeeds but you still can't connect, the outage is probably local to you — try another network or device, clear your cache, or check Microsoft Azure's official status channels.
