Yep, we lost outlook functionality. I’m curious to see what the cause of this is… a nationwide outage affecting the entire world’s enterprise is no small hiccup.
Status: Investigating
We’ve determined that the elevated load isn’t driven by an overall increase in traffic, but by a large number of servers being unexpectedly unavailable, which is shifting load onto the remaining infrastructure. We’re investigating what’s causing these servers to become unavailable while we work to safely return them to service.
They followed this one up to say the automated health checks were causing the servers to go unavailable.
I have been ‘someone’ before, when a vendor changed the interval from being in seconds to milliseconds and I failed to read the patch notes before adding new targets because “I know what I’m doing.”

It’s going to turn out to be shitty AI code causing the crash. It’s all part of a slow rolling train crash, and this still is the beginning.
We’d only ever know that from a leak. No way they admit it.
Hmmm, I’m going with they laid off a quarter of their work force and replaced them with vibe coding.

Did someone DDOS them via health checks?!

Are you OK? Are you OK? Are you OK?
I’m going to ask you so many times that you stop being OK. AI is overly attached girlfriend.
Annie are you ok?
lmfao
Seems to be ok in the UK at the moment
Microsoft probably treats y’all okay because Ireland lets them avoid paying the taxes they deserve to pay the American government, lol.
