we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.

Are they that unreliable?

this is for the last 90 days.

there have been multiple global outages in the last year alone.

explaining that you can't use the computers or email for the indeterminate future because microsoft broke their own DNS for the fourth time this year is not something clients appreciate

stupid question, are all the services that run on it fine? just can't get to the admin panel or w/e ?

it depends on the outage, but in the major cases it prevents any login at all as far as i can tell, because the authentication services themselves are unavailable

There doesn't appear to be anything MFA-related in the past 90 days, and possibly just that one really bad landing that affected them a few weeks in a row last year?

AD integrated TOTP and paswordless auth using microsoft authenticator

it would be nice to have geographic login restrictions for remote access and mail too, without having to hack up some kludge with scoping based on geo-ip databases

how do they not have any loving redundancy in that service?

how are they letting the whole thing shut down?

this is inexcusable.

anyone who uses that service is probably a loving idiot or they aren't in charge of anything of any importance.

the one big outage, and some other o365 outages over the past few years have been attributed to MS breaking their own DNS.

turns out regional/global redundancy doesn't work well if your poo poo won't resolve

Does Microsoft use any third party hosting for redundancy like Apple?

Azure has had zero globally redundant services for so long, I presume microsoft.com and others don't even use it.

i think you either underestimate the size of azure or just what it is? you need to be able to be your own redundancy if you have the rather huge chunk of the market microsoft has, starting to rent poo poo from the only real competitor would be pretty weird.

they absolutely have global and regional redundancy, it's just that the things that break sometimes mean the redundancy fails too

this is a really uphill sort of troll position to take about the largest company in the world

though i guess strictly speaking that does mean that others passing them by is the only possible change that can happen.

Cybernetic Vermin
Apr 18, 2005

market cap, but true it has fallen back to second again this quarter

either way, they are up 140% the last 3 years, to no small part due to azure growth. i don't particularly imagine azure is great, but the market success is pretty clear-cut

They had nothing compared to Route 53 for a long time, only intra-Region redundancy: you can create a load-balancer but it only balances in that region. So if the region hosting the load-balancer dies your redundancy dies. They probably still allow you to create such stupid deployments.

Azure DNS only launched in 2016, whilst Route 53 launched in 2010.

haha, i will admit to not being entirely up to date, but they flipped *today*. up to yesterday microsoft was larger

apple makes way more money still though, so that comparison is a lot iffier than e.g. worrying about other cloud providers

struggling? have you looked at their numbers?

microsoft is doing very, very well for themselves. growth is good, margins are high, dividends are amazing

microsoft-the-consumer-brand is poo poo, and always will be poo poo, but fortunately for shareholders that does not matter at all, because that is not how microsoft makes money

bone shaking.
soul baking.
microsoft is making lots of money. they're either 1 or 2 in marketcap right now and have been for years. we laugh at a lot of poo poo they do, because it's halfassed poo poo, but it's pretty much the only name in the game and is making money hand over fist. everyone has an office 365 subscription. everyone is using windows and typing poo poo in word and crunching numbers in excel.

microsoft is one of the few stocks that has actually really gained in value over the lifetime of the company. there are only a few hundred companies ever that are responsible for the overwhelming majority of the stock market's gain since 1926. if you don't hold microsoft stock as a part of your portfolio, you're loving up.

so far i have discovered 2 ways to deploy to azure app service. you can either:

1. right click publish in visual studio, or
2. die in a loving ditch you idiot

i concur this is my experience with azure

also if you use basically anything other than c# then their tooling is less than favorable. The documentation is also all over the place. Can I or can't i use python for lambdas? Last I checked I could but also couldn't depending on where i looked

all of their documentation is like this for o365/azure

major caveats and restrictions aren't mentioned anywhere in the service docs or implementation guides, but sometimes the team that launched the service will have a little two line blurb in their blog from six months ago.
