Internet Status - April 24, 2026: Azure East US Partial Outage; Rest of Internet Stable
The broader internet is operating normally today, with one notable regional incident on Microsoft Azure.
Microsoft Azure - East US (Active)
Azure is investigating a partial outage in its East US region that began around 11:39 UTC on April 24, 2026. Affected services include Virtual Machines and VM Scale Sets, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Service Fabric, Application Gateway, Azure Virtual Desktop, Azure Databricks, Azure Data Explorer, Azure Cache for Redis, Azure Synapse, and Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible servers, among others. Microsoft has identified a suspected triggering deployment and a rolling rollback is underway across affected availability zones. Customers in East US may see failures or delays when provisioning or scaling resources, along with intermittent connectivity for existing workloads. Microsoft recommends deploying new workloads to alternate regions and pausing CI/CD pipelines targeting East US until the issue is mitigated. Source: https://azure.status.microsoft
Cloudflare
Cloudflare worked through a handful of small issues earlier today, including intermittent HTTP 5xx errors on Cloudflare Access authentication (fix implemented, monitoring), brief Healthchecks monitoring and alerting disruption, a Load Balancing dashboard display bug (CDN unaffected), WARP connectivity issues in Bulgaria, and a short network performance degradation in Miami. All of these have been resolved or are under monitoring with limited user impact. Scheduled maintenance is being performed today at the Seattle (SEA) and Montreal (YUL) datacenters, which may cause minor regional latency variations. Source: https://www.cloudflarestatus.com
Other Major Providers
AWS, Google Cloud, GitHub, and OpenAI all report normal operations with no broad incidents. No significant BGP hijacks, DNS failures, or undersea cable issues have been reported today.
Bottom Line
Outside of the Azure East US regional incident, the internet is operating normally. Users and operators outside that region are unlikely to see any impact.
