Microsoft outages hits bunch of services including Xbox and Azure
Last Tuesday, Microsoft and several other cloud based services experienced outages since afternoon, according to several reports. Xbox Live, OneDrive, Outlook, Skype, Azure, and the Windows Store were some of the services which faced the issue when their users tried to log into their accounts.
The outages which took place yesterday majorly affected the east cost of the US and also some parts of northern Europe. Some users vented out their frustration on social media like twitter and facebook.
This is not the first time Microsoft has faced an outage this month, as a similar kind of outage, rocked the Microsoft camp earlier this month. Interestingly, before the company gave an explanation about the cause of outage that took place a couple of weeks ago, another one has ruffled the Microsoft base.
Although this attack is not considered to be a Mirai like attack, experts predict that the outage may be due to the deployment of new software.
“ We' re aware that some users are having difficulties logging in to some services. Our engineers are working to fully resolve this as soon as possible,” said Microsoft’ s spokesperson.
Microsoft Azure status history cited a recent deployment as one potential root cause, adding that its engineers rolled back the deployment to help mitigate the issue.
Also, Microsoft addressed the issue on social media and assured its users that its members are actively working to alleviate the issue.
