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.

About Our Azure Status Page Integration

Azure 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 1,755 outages that affected Azure users. When Azure publishes downtime on their status page, they do so across 5,689 components and 63 groups using 3 different statuses: up, warn, and down which we use to provide granular uptime metrics and notifications.

More than 2,200 StatusGator users monitor Azure 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 159,700 notifications to our users about Azure incidents, providing transparency and peace of mind. You can get alerts by signing up for a free StatusGator account.

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

Azure 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 maintenance events into your unified calendar.

When Azure 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 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 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I find out if Azure is having issues?

There are two main options: You can check the Azure status page or you can subscribe to StatusGator for free alerts and notifications when their status page changes.

Azure status page says the service is up, but I'm having issues. What's wrong?

There may be several reasons for that:

  • An outage that hasn't been communicated yet via the Azure status page.
  • Some local issues with a small group of accounts on the service side.
  • Technical issues on your side, or problems with your software or ISP.
  • A misconfiguration on your side.

We recommend contacting Azure customer support while checking everything on your side. You can also try Tweeting at them via @azure on Twitter. Or visit their official status page or website:

Where do you get the official Azure status?

We use the official Azure status page. Here are links to their status page and other helpful links.
