at 2:33pm our phone began ringing off the hook because 100% of our customers had their content session interrupted in the middle of taking a course.

we had reps from Microsoft, our content vendor and the very well-known organization which sponsored the training in an emergency conference for 2 hours.

at roughly 4pm the CDN began to come back. geographically dispersed QA also showed the CDN was starting to show signs of life. by our 4:30PM status update everything appeared to be back online and we sent out a customer communication.

you can make of that what you will, I'm just telling you the facts.

I wouldn't put too much faith in the Azure status page. For one thing it was down itself for quite a while today. Also it was reporting everything green until the Azure support twitter got blown up by people reporting outages, then it took about 15 minutes before it started show warnings(!) for only some of the North Central region. Eventually they did put almost all of North Central in warnings, but a complete outage doesn't sound like a warning level event to me.
