Microsoft has laid off thousands of employees while investing billions in AI. Now Outlook goes down, and everyone is depending on human engineers to get things running again. It’s interesting how companies keep talking about replacing people until something breaks and they need people to fix it.

Microsoft outage exposes limits of cloud resilience: IT professional

For IT professionals, the Microsoft outage has brought a sense of helplessness, with little they can do to fix problems originating from the tech giant's infrastructure.

Rahmat, 36, who works at a chemical plant in Singapore, said he was first alerted to the disruption at 5.49am, when a colleague on the night shift reported being unable to access Outlook.

What initially appeared to be a "routine email troubleshooting request" turned out to be a much wider problem, he said, after checking Microsoft's service health dashboard.

"From an IT professional's perspective, there is also a certain helplessness when you establish that the underlying problem is happening at the service provider's end," he said.

Rahmat has since issued a site-wide announcement and is keeping colleagues informed through a central group on Teams, which remains accessible to them.

"Not everyone working at an industrial site is constantly checking their emails or has access to a computer. Some personnel spend most of their time working in the field, so information needs to reach them through other means," he said.

For Rahmat, the outage has highlighted the risks of organisations becoming increasingly dependent on cloud infrastructure.

"I think that is probably the more concerning aspect of incidents like this. It reminds us that even with the resilience and redundancy promised by modern cloud infrastructure, organisations are not completely insulated from widespread service disruptions," he told CNA.

"At the end of the day, while we cannot directly resolve an outage happening within Microsoft's infrastructure, we can still manage how our organisations respond to it."

Microsoft reports partial recovery

Microsoft says it is seeing signs of recovery in some regions after implementing measures to stabilise its servers, although the improvements have yet to last.

In an update at around 12.20pm Singapore time, the tech giant said it had adjusted traffic protocols, redistributed traffic and introduced targeted traffic-blocking measures to ease the strain on its infrastructure.

"We’re observing partial recovery across regions in which we’ve applied these adjustments," Microsoft said.

"However, these actions aren't resulting in sustained recovery, so we're reviewing what additional actions we can take to improve overall infrastructure stability."
