Red Sea Cables Cut: Microsoft gives update on Azure services

Microsoft has confirmed that it has resolved issues with its Azure cloud platform after multiple subsea cables in the Red Sea were cut. Earlier, the company warned that the cable cuts were causing increased latency and service disruptions for users in the Middle East and Asia. According to a report by the news agency Reuters, the world’s second-largest cloud provider after Amazon’s AWS rerouted traffic through alternate network paths to ensure that network traffic is not interrupted. Now, the tech giant’s service status page shows that all services are operational. The tech giant also noted that its engineering teams had worked to mitigate the situation and had since updated that Azure services in the Middle East are back online.
