Microsoft Azure globally suffered a "full service interruption" for many of its services this morning Australian time, according to a report by ZDNet US and confirmed by Microsoft.
At around 4am EST, users internationally started reporting problems with virtual machines, cloud services and websites, with Microsoft acknowledging the "partial service interruption".
The vendor soon after added outages for many other services such as automation, backup, site recovery, mobile services and service bus and upgraded the situation to a "full service interruption".
A screenshot taken by ZDNet US of the Azure status table at the time show multiple regions affected, although by 7:30am all services were showing green for the Asia Pacific Southeast zone. Europe North and several North American zones were still affected by problems at that time.
Microsoft announced through its Azure status page that: "Recovery continues underway [sic] across affected regions."
Today's problems with Azure come after Microsoft was compelled to apologise in June over major outages to its Exchange cloud e-mail and Lync comms services.
