BTCCSquare news:
Microsoft faced significant disruptions to its Azure cloud computing and 365 services on October 29, just hours before its third-quarter earnings announcement. Global users reported widespread access issues, with the company's website temporarily down. Microsoft acknowledged the problems on social media, stating it was investigating impacts on multiple Azure services and promising updates within 60 minutes.
The outage follows a similar incident at Amazon Web Services the previous week, which temporarily crippled its cloud infrastructure. AWS dominates the cloud market with a 32% share, while Microsoft's Azure remains a key competitor. These disruptions highlight growing reliability concerns in cloud computing infrastructure.
