Azure front door issues https://lnkd.in/e7QADwxD Network Infrastructure / Azure Front Door - Issues accessing a subset of Microsoft services Impact Statement: Starting approximately at 11:45 UTC on 30 July 2024, a subset of customers may have experienced issues connecting to Microsoft services globally. Current Status: An unexpected usage spike resulted in Azure Front Door (AFD) and Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) components performing below acceptable thresholds, leading to intermittent errors, timeout, and latency spikes. We have implemented network configuration changes and have performed failovers to provide alternate network paths for relief. Our monitoring telemetry shows improvement in service availability from approximately 14:10 UTC onwards. As we investigate reports of specific services and regions that are still experiencing intermittent errors, we believe that our network configuration changes have successfully mitigated the impacts of the usage spike, but that these changes are causing some side effects to certain services. We are updating our mitigation approach to minimize these side effects, and applying these following Safe Deployment Practices - beginning in Asia Pacific regions and then expanding in phases. We will provide an update on our continued mitigation efforts by 19:00 UTC, or sooner if we have progress to share. This message was last updated at 18:13 UTC on 30 July 2024

Moving to hybrid cloud solutions is becoming a common change in business infrastructure for many UK organisations. Having a clear cloud strategy is essential for this change: IT leaders need to consider elements, such as the security and reliability of data, the flexibility of the cloud and scalability. Without it, keeping those workloads up to date, secure, optimised and compliant becomes difficult to achieve. Our Hybrid Cloud Management service is designed to deliver just that. Using our expertise and hybrid cloud monitoring solutions, we can ensure that not only do we "keep the lights on", but we proactively remediate issues before they cause business disruption. You can read more about our hybrid cloud solutions on our website 👇 #WorkingSmarter #HybridOffice #digitaltransformation

Do you allow users to install their own apps on their PCs? 🥴 Do they get special admin rights to do so? 🫢 If you're using Intune, you have the more secure option of managing a library of applications which users can self-serve via Company Portal. Remove the risk of people downloading 'Notépud++' by mistake! Learn More: https://lnkd.in/et6T592x
