Multiple services recovering after power/cooling issue - Australia East

Details

Impact Statement: Starting at approximately 08:30 UTC on 30 August 2023, a utility power surge in the Australia East region tripped a subset of the cooling units offline in one datacenter, within one of the Availability Zones. While working to restore cooling, temperatures in the datacenter increased so we proactively powered down a small subset of selected compute and storage scale units, to avoid damage to hardware. Multiple downstream services were impacted, with targeted communications being distributed via Azure Service Health.
Current Status: Having successfully recovered 99% of storage services and 99% of impacted Virtual Machines, we are beginning to see the recovery on the impacted nodes. At this stage, we believe most downstream services that are still experiencing impact are the result of dependencies on one of three services with recovery ongoing.
Power has been restored to all clusters hosting Cosmos DB. Accounts that were not failed over should see recovery in Australia East. Accounts failed over to alternate regions will continue to operate in these alternate regions; the Cosmos DB team has begun to bring Australia East region online.
Over 99% of impacted Azure storage accounts are now fully recovered. Due to thermal damage, we continue working on recovering a small number of resources to bring the remaining impacted storage accounts back online. We have recovered 75% of the remaining impacted resources, and as we continue making progress, additional services are displaying indications of improvement.
Azure SQL is continuing to recover impact to a single backend cluster, impacting a small subset of databases instances. Additionally, we are taking steps to reduce the overall zonal load to facilitate improved resource allocation and recovery.
Further updates on these remaining recovery efforts will be provided 2 hours, or as events warrant.

Multiple downstream services were impacted, with targeted communications being distributed via Azure Service Health.
Current Status: Having successfully recovered 99% of storage services and 99% of impacted Virtual Machines, we are actively investigating individual downstream services to confirm their recovery status and mitigate remaining issues. At this stage, we believe most downstream services that are still experiencing impact are the result of dependencies on one of three services with investigations ongoing.
Over 90% of Cosmos DB clusters in the Australia East region have been successfully recovered. Cosmos DB Accounts, that were not failed over to alternate read/write regions, should now begin to see signs of recovery. Once all clusters are fully restored, the Cosmos DB team will initiate the process of bringing this region back online for accounts that were previously failed over.
Over 99% of impacted Azure storage accounts are now fully recovered, a small number resources are currently being replaced or repaired due to thermal damage in order to bring the remaining impacted storage accounts back online.
Azure SQL is continuing to recover impact to a single backend cluster, impacting a small subset of databases instances. Additionally, we are taking steps to reduce the overall zonal load to facilitate improved resource allocation and recovery.

Multiple services recovering after power/cooling issue - Australia East

Details

Impact Statement: Starting at approximately 08:30 UTC on 30 August 2023, a utility power surge in the Australia East region tripped a subset of the cooling units offline in one datacenter, within one of the Availability Zones. While working to restore cooling, temperatures in the datacenter increased so we proactively powered down a small subset of selected compute and storage scale units, to avoid damage to hardware. Multiple downstream services were impacted, with targeted communications being distributed via Azure Service Health.
Current Status: With 99% of storage services and 99% of impacted Virtual Machines back online and healthy, we are actively investigating remaining issues with individual downstream services to confirm their recovery status. Our Storage team are making progress on one specific storage scale unit that is still experiencing isolated issues. Our SQL team are investigating a potential issue with an underlying Service Fabric dependency. Our Cosmos DB team are investigating why some services have not fully recovered. Despite these remaining investigations, the majority of customers and services should already be recovered. Further updates will be provided in 60 minutes, or as events warrant.

About Our Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Status Page Integration

Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is a Cloud Infrastructure and Microsoft solution that StatusGator has been monitoring since March 2015. Over the past over 8 years, we have collected data on on more than 1,750 outages that affected Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) users. When Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) publishes downtime on their status page, they do so across 5,564 components and 62 groups using 3 different statuses: up, warn, and down which we use to provide granular uptime metrics and notifications.

More than 2,100 StatusGator users monitor Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) to get notified when it's down or has an outage. This makes it one of the most popular cloud infrastructure services monitored on our platform. We've sent more than 158,800 notifications to our users about Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) incidents, providing transparency and peace of mind. You can get alerts by signing up for a free StatusGator account.

If Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is having system outages or experiencing other critical issues, red down notifications appear on the status page. In most cases, it means that core functions are not working properly, or there is some other serious customer-impacting event underway.

Warn notifications are used when Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is undergoing a non-critical issue like minor service issues, performance degradation, non-core bugs, capacity issues, or problems affecting a small number of users.

Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) does not post separate notifications for planned maintenance work so we are unable to send notifications when maintenance windows begin. If you need Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) maintenance notifications, please email us.

Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) does not publish a feed of proactive maintenance events on their status page at this time. If they do, be sure to let us know and we'll aggregate Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) maintenance events into your unified calendar.

When Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) posts issues on their status page, we collect the main headline message and include that brief information or overview in notifications to StatusGator subscribers.

When Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) has outages or other service-impacting events on their status page, we pull down the detailed informational updates and include them in notifications. These messages often include the current details about how the problem is being mitigated, or when the next update will occur.

Because Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) has several components, each with their individual statuses, StatusGator can differentiate the status of each component in our notifications to you. This means, you can filter your status page notifications based on the services, regions, or components you utilize. This is an essential feature for complex services with many components or services spread out across many regions.
