Is Azure Application Insights down?
Current Azure Application Insights status is UP

Impact Statement: Starting at approximately 21:56 UTC on 18 Jul 2024, a subset of customers may experience issues with multiple Azure services in the Central US region including failures with service management operations and connectivity or availability of services.
Current Status: We are aware of this issue and have engaged multiple teams. We’ve determined the underlying cause. A backend cluster management workflow deployed a configuration change causing backend access to be blocked between a subset of Azure Storage clusters and compute resources in the Central US region. This resulted in the compute resources automatically restarting when connectivity was lost to virtual disks. Mitigation has been confirmed for all Azure Storage clusters, the majority of services are now recovered. A small subset of services is still experiencing residual impact. Impacted customers will be continuing to communicate throuhg Azure service health portal. The next update will be provided in 60 minutes, or as events warrant.

Impact Statement: Starting at 21:56 UTC on 18 Jul 2024, a subset of customers may experience issues with multiple Azure services in the Central US region including failures with service management operations and connectivity or availability of services.
Current Status: We are aware of this issue and have engaged multiple teams to investigate. As part of the investigation, we are reviewing previous deployments, and are running other workstreams to investigate for an underlying cause. The next update will be provided in 60 minutes, or as events warrant. 
Customers with disaster recovery procedures set up can consider trying to take steps to failover their services to another regions, and may consider using programmatic options for this if they experience issues.

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 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.
Further updates on these remaining recovery efforts will be provided in 60 minutes, or as events warrant.

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.

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. Impact to services is limited to Australia East, except for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) which has impact in both Australia East and Australia Southeast due to a dependency in the former.
Current Status: With 99% of storage services and 99% of impacted Virtual Machines back online and healthy, we are now supporting individual downstream services to confirm their recovery status. We are aware of one specific storage scale unit that is still experiencing isolated issues, but the majority of customers and services should already be recovered. Beyond this known storage issue, we are investigating which services are still not fully mitigated and why. Further updates will be provided in 60 minutes, or as events warrant.
