Reports surged around 9:00 AM Pacific Time, with failed logins to Outlook and Teams, stalled file syncs in OneDrive and SharePoint, and intermittent admin center access. Azure Portal, the nerve center for cloud deployments, was particularly ravaged, rendering it unresponsive for many in the East US region. This isn’t just a blip; it’s a stark reminder of the fragility in our cloud-dependent infrastructure.
