Microsoft Azure experienced a significant outage due to an inadvertent configuration change, impacting services like Microsoft 365, Xbox, and various companies including Capital One and Starbucks. Recovery efforts are underway, with many services reporting improvements, though some customers still face issues.

Microsoft is investigating a global outage affecting access to the Exchange Admin Center, designated as a critical service issue. Administrators are encountering "HTTP Error 500" when trying to log in, but some have found a workaround via a different URL. Microsoft is working on solutions and has started redirecting traffic to restore access temporarily.

Microsoft is addressing an outage affecting its Azure Front Door CDN, which has disrupted access to various Microsoft 365 services across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. As of the latest updates, the company has restored approximately 98% of the service and is actively monitoring for full recovery, with the outage affecting only about 4% of previously impacted customers. The incident has been officially mitigated, and users have reported resolution of access issues.
