Is Microsoft Azure down?

Microsoft Azure outages are usually caused by server overloads, failed deployments, CDN or DNS problems, DDoS attacks, or regional internet routing issues. isitdown.io checks Microsoft Azure from 4 regions (US East, US West, Europe, Asia) simultaneously. If all 4 fail, Microsoft Azure is down for everyone. If only some fail, the outage may be regional. If all pass but you still can't connect, the issue is on your local network, VPN, or DNS.

Click "Check Microsoft Azure now" above. isitdown.io pings azure.microsoft.com from four global regions in parallel and reports which ones succeeded. If all four pass, the issue is local — try flushing your DNS cache, switching networks, disabling your VPN, or using a different browser. If two or more regions fail, the outage is on Microsoft Azure's side.

The live response-time graph above shows the last 24 hours of real checks against azure.microsoft.com. Each data point is an actual HTTP request from our monitoring system — not a third-party feed. Green means up, red means down. Spikes indicate slow responses. Bookmark this page to check back during future outages.
