As of 1:43 PM EDT on 29 October 2025, there is a massive Internet outage: Azure and Microsoft. Reports are now coming in claiming (not verified), that Amazon Web Services (AWS) is either seriously affected or "going down again, too."
Just like the AWS outage from last week, this is affecting several large businesses and infrastructure.
Microsoft Azure says this:
"Starting at approximately 16:00 UTC, we began experiencing Azure Front Door (AFD) issues resulting in a loss of availability of some services. We suspect that an inadvertent configuration change as the trigger event for this issue.
We are taking several concurrent actions: Firstly, where we are blocking all changes to the AFD services, this includes customer configuration changes as well. At the same time, we are rolling back our AFD configuration to our last known good state. As we rollback we want to ensure that the problematic configuration doesn't re-initiate upon recovery.
Customers may have experienced problems accessing the Azure management portal. We have failed the portal away from AFD to mitigate the portal access issues. Customers should be able to access the Azure management portal directly, while all portal extensions are working correctly there may be a small number of endpoints that might have a problem loading (i.e. Marketplace).
We do not have an ETA for when the rollback will be completed, but we will update this communication within 30 minutes or when we have an update.
