Just started ~5 minutes ago: multiple global regions report that Azure is offline — portal won’t load (even cached), Front Door services unreachable, CDN failing — US East/Central, West US, Netherlands, UK, Italy, NZ all reporting issues. Status pages still show green. Heads up to anyone on Azure. Last week AWS, now this.
Azure experienced a major outage affecting multiple global regions, with users reporting issues with the portal, Front Door, and CDN services, and the community is reacting with frustration and concern.

Had some Frontdoor operations timing out, but now I'm straight up denied with "Message: All Changes to Azure Frondoor Configuration are blocked currently."
What a mess.
