Microsoft Azure, the cloud computing service provided by the company, is experiencing a significant outage on Wednesday. The problems started around noon ET, and Microsoft has acknowledged the issue on the service’s status page.
According to Microsoft, “We suspect that an inadvertent configuration change triggered this issue.” The company has not indicated when service will be restored.
Multiple Microsoft services have gone offline as part of this outage, including Microsoft 365, Xbox, and Minecraft. Websites from other businesses, such as Costco and Starbucks, are also inaccessible.
This outage takes place just hours before Microsoft is scheduled to announce its earnings results this afternoon.
It also follows a recent outage experienced by Amazon AWS a week ago. The incident affected various websites, banks, and certain government services.
