… broke Microsoft 365?
Looks like a major outage underway for emails.

Had a couple of customers report unable to send or receive email this afternoon. Can't log into their EACs or Defender portal.

These things happen. These things also get fixed (and, generally, pretty promptly).

they should have waited a couple days and could have blamed it on the big snowstorm about to hit, but no...
I've heard from a few sites with problems, I told them to just wait it out. It seems be clearing at the moment.

Cloudflare dropped pretty hard yesterday for their maintenance in Singapore too... it's been a rough week.

Sorry guys, I sent a HUGE email attachment...musta crashed their servers with some back pressure from taking up too much drive space!
LOL
I was teaching a Teams class to a museum client of mine yesterday....prepping for it shortly after the time the outage started....so I wasn't really noticing my inbox being..."quieter than normal". Seemed to start around 1245 for us yesterday...(eastern time zone). Class started at 1430.. (2:30 for your non mils/non police). The director of the museum sent me a list in the beginning of the meeting...I never got it. Told her to check her spelling...she sent again, I still never got it. But I went on teaching, answering questions, etc.
Class ended around 1630 (430pm)...look at my email..eerily quiet. Teams chatter from our office...people calling in....office manager asks if Microsoft is having an outage...I had the IT BOG Facebook group open in a tab..refreshed..boom...a thread about Microsoft outage. BOOM.
AND...I had a migration scheduled that I had started yesterday...a plumbing company from Google to 365.
I was finally able to log into admin.microsoft.com towards 8pm yesterday....some back end pages still pokey until after 9pm...

I really like and prefer 365 over GW like a lot of you guys do. This is a non scientific observation, but it seems that with 365 these outages are more common or frequent that with GW.

MS's whole stack is getting to be a bunch of BS. I think they're just running wild with AI code and it's not working too well. I moved 100% to Linux about 3 weeks ago. Not going to deal with it anymore, Recall, Agentic OS, M365 taking over Office... They're killing their own brand.
CachyOS has been fantastic.

Yesterday's outage wasn't just Microsoft...
It was Microsoft, Amazon, Cloudflare, Verizon, and Level3.
5 separate mistakes... all of which at once should have all but unplugged the Internet itself for the entire North American continent. Instead, the most visible issue was M365 services being wonky for several hours.
Anyone using this to claim Microsoft is crap, can't read an after action report. Because when you know what actually happened you see the resilience of a system recovering in hours what would take a smaller org weeks or months to repair.
@phaZed I haven't felt the itch... Arch is VERY aggressive on the update cycles so having a "mint" like option in Catchy is kind of nice. But I haven't needed that in my world. Mint XFCE fills that role for me. I'm still going to have to check it out though... because BORE while less stable seems interesting... especially if you're CPU bound. It's just one of those things forever on the back burner.

It doesn't even need to be AI causing problems, they've just laid off enough people that eventually the side effects will be felt. I've been in enough incidents to know how easy it is to make things worse, you need real experience at the helm.
