""Starting at approximately 16:00 UTC, we began experiencing Azure Front Door (AFD) issues resulting in a loss of availability of some services," Microsoft said on its status page. "We suspect that an inadvertent configuration change as the trigger event for this issue." Microsoft said that it's currently taking several actions, including blocking all changes to the AFD services and rolling back AFD configuration to its last known good state."
"Microsoft is currently investigating the outage, but it doesn't have an ETA for when it will be resolved. Last week also saw numerous gaming services affected when AWS went down and impacted several major services across the web, including popular games like Fortnite and Roblox. In the case of Microsoft, the outage is also hitting several businesses as users report that major websites are failing to load."
