Microsoft Azure Stumbles - Again

I recently wrote about being “In Search of a Highly Available Persistence Solution”. However, it seems that Azure has been experiencing other more sweeping outages and service degradations. PCWorld recently wrote about Microsoft’s woes, “Azure cloud services have a rough week”.

Today, we are nervously watching as the service issues continue. Luckily the outages have not affected our product … yet.

Microsoft is trying very hard to gain ground against rival Amazon. This certainly doesn’t help. To be fair, cloud outages are not uncommon and when they do occur, a lot of people get pissed off. Last year’s InfoWorld article shows that it happens to the best of them.
