Retrospective on the Aug 14th VS Online outage-Microsoft
We had a pretty serious outage last Thursday all told it was a little over 5 hours. The symptoms were that performance was so bad that the service was basically unavailable for most people (though there was some intermittent access as various mitigation steps were taken). It started around 14:00 UTC and ended a little before 19:30 UTC. This duration and severity makes this one of the worst incidents we’ve ever had on VS Online.
