was hit with outages in its Azure cloud and 365 services on Wednesday, hours before the company’s scheduled earnings release.
Users reported problems on social media accessing their sites and services running on Microsoft’s products, and the company’s website was inaccessible. The problems began around 11:40 a.m. ET, according to Downdetector, which relies on user reports.
Microsoft didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment, but the company acknowledged the issues on its Azure and 365 support accounts on X.
“We’re investigating an issue impacting Azure Front Door services,” the Azure support account said. “Customers may experience intermittent request failures or latency. Updates will be provided shortly.”
On Azure’s status page, the company said “customers may be experiencing issues accessing the portal.”
