Today's Global Azure Outage Was Due To...

...an expired SSL cert.

Amazing. Azure has been all but unusable since 1pm Pacific or so, 8+ hours at this point...I know because I've been trying to do work in it since then.

Maybe Microsoft should use Outlook to setup a recurring annual reminder!?

BTW, isn't Microsoft an intermediate CA?

  • This doesn't really surprise me... SSL certs are really easy to forget about since it's something that you generally only handle once a year (or even less often than that). I see lots of hosts with expired certificates on their SolusVM, their billing panels, etc.
