I can’t get the page to load but there is definitely an outage right now. They posted to the admin portal service health about an hour ago that they were looking at issues with Exchange online but it’s affecting Teams, Sharepoint too.

    I guess this is what you get when your single-point-of-failure is a 3rd party cloud service.

    Everyone was convinced to move everything to "The Cloud" to avoid single points of failure. And then everyone placed everything in us-east-1/East US. So now the entire internet falls over when a cardinal farts in Northern Virginia.

    I thought the entire point of a company running their own exchange server was that they don't need to rely on MS, and a fuckup at MS doesn't take down every company around the world

    Exchange is complex enough that you need a team of people to maintain it.

    It’s also exposed to the internet and to end users in such a way that makes it a security target.

    Keeping up with it is/was difficult, and the cost to have Microsoft do it is pretty cheap all things considered.

    Every once in a while a competitor shows up but really the last competitor was groupwise.
