Is Microsoft Azure down right now?

Yes — it’s down.

Microsoft Azure appears to be down right now, based on repeated failed checks.

checked responded in 10003ms

Over the last 7 days, Microsoft Azure has answered our automated checks with 0.0% availability. The most recent outage began 2026-08-12 20:25 UTC and is still ongoing (severity: down).

Microsoft Azure is the cloud behind much of the enterprise world and Microsoft's own products, including Microsoft 365 and Entra ID. Identity is its highest-impact dependency, so an Entra incident can block sign-in to Teams, Outlook, and customer applications simultaneously while the compute layer is entirely healthy.

Is Microsoft Azure down for everyone or just you?

This is not just you. Our own checks are failing too, so the problem is at Microsoft Azure's end and there is nothing on yours to fix. Waiting is the only fix that works on a real outage.

What to do if Microsoft Azure is down for just you

  • Check whether the problem is limited to one region before assuming a global outage, since most cloud incidents are regional.
  • Query a second DNS resolver (1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8) to rule out a resolution problem rather than a provider one.
  • Test from a different network or a machine outside the affected region, which separates a routing issue from a service issue.
  • Look at the provider's own per-service dashboard below, as one product can be degraded while everything else is healthy.
