Frequently Asked Questions

Is Azure down in my region?

Azure outages can be regional or service-specific. Check our status above and Azure Status page filtered by your region. Azure has 60+ regions worldwide, so outages rarely affect all regions simultaneously.

Why can't I access Azure Portal?

Azure Portal issues may occur during Azure AD or global service outages. Try portal.azure.com with an incognito window, or use Azure CLI/PowerShell as alternatives. Check Azure Active Directory status specifically.

Are Azure DevOps and Azure the same for outages?

No, Azure DevOps (dev.azure.com) runs on separate infrastructure from Azure cloud services. Check status.dev.azure.com for Azure DevOps specific issues. However, some integrations may be affected during Azure AD outages.

How do I get Azure outage notifications?

Configure Azure Service Health alerts in the Azure Portal for personalized notifications. You can also subscribe to Azure status RSS feeds, follow @AzureSupport on Twitter, or set up monitoring with PerkyDash for instant alerts.
