Microsoft 365 and Azure services experience widespread outage

Microsoft is investigating a widespread outage affecting some Microsoft 365 and Azure services. Users are reporting issues connecting to the Microsoft 365 admin center, opening the Service Health Status page, and experiencing timeouts while using Azure services. The company says the incident only affects users worldwide and a subset of its services.

Multiple engineering teams are working to diagnose and resolve the issue. In the meantime, users may experience latency or degraded feature performance when accessing impacted Microsoft 365 services. The affected services include the Microsoft 365 admin center, Intune, Entra, and Power Platform. SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, Microsoft Teams, and Exchange Online are not impacted.

As of July 30 at 11:15 EDT, Microsoft says service availability is improving after implementing a networking configuration change. Some services have failed over to alternate paths to provide relief, and monitoring telemetry shows improvement in service availability. The company is continuing to monitor for full recovery.
