Based on what I saw in the ElReg commenting section, there were problems almost everywhere in USA at least, and not just on the stuff hosted on that data center.

Many services in Europe and other regions were also affected - seems like MS didn't properly distribute services and make them resilient to failures in single datacenters, instead they've built yet another system intermangled with opaque cross-dependencies and single point of failures. Who could have foreseen that, given how well laid out and stable Wind... oh... yeah... :rolleyes:

FTR: despite their first claims that only the central/south US region is affected, they now admitted that "organizations outside of the South Central US region may also be experiencing impact with their CI/CD workflows, dashboards due to some internal infrastructure dependencies"
