Windows Azure hit by worldwide management interruption

Posted by iwgcr

On Wednesday, October 30th 2013, at 2:35 AM UTC  Windows Azure experienced  an issue that affected a management feature in the compute section of the public cloud, and was finally resolved Thursday morning.

Microsoft’s update on Service Dashboard stated “Manual actions to perform Swap Deployment operations on Cloud Services may error, which will then restrict Service Management functions.”

It took Microsoft more than a day to solve the problem, but fortunately the issue did not affect any of the applications running on Azure.
