Azure Service Health

When your Azure resources go down, one of your first questions is probably, “Is it me or is it Azure?

Azure Service Health is extending its ability to help you stay informed about the availability of your Azure resources.

Today I am excited to announce the general availability (GA) of Azure Service Health, a personalized dashboard that provides guidance and support when issues in Azure services affect you.

An industry-wide, hardware-based security vulnerability was disclosed today.

When an Azure service incident affects you, we know that it is critical that you are equipped with all the information necessary to mitigate any potential impact.
