Microsoft Azure has experienced an outage affecting its Application Gateway service. The issue is causing a 504 Gateway Timeout error for users, preventing them from accessing their applications.
The problem seems to be related to the Azure Application Gateway/v2, which is used to manage and secure web traffic in Azure Virtual Network (VNet) environments. The timeout error is reported by users, indicating that requests are being timed out while trying to access the gateway.
Microsoft has not yet commented on the cause of the outage or a timeline for when it plans to resolve the issue. As a result, users are advised to monitor the status of their applications and consider alternative solutions in case of extended downtime.
