Oct. 29 (UPI) -- Microsoft's Azure cloud computing platform is enduring an outage that is affecting many Microsoft services ahead of the tech firm's scheduled quarterly earnings report on Wednesday.

The Microsoft Azure homepage is producing an error message when subscribers and visitors try to load it, which prompted Microsoft officials to announce they are working on the matter.

The problems arose at noon EDT when the website began experiencing Azure Front Door issues that blocked access to some services, according to Microsoft.

"We suspect that an inadvertent configuration change as the trigger event for this issue," Microsoft said in a statement shared with The Verge.
