Active - Managed Service Identity and depended service operation failure in East US and West US
Impact Statement: Beginning at 00:15 UTC on 03 February 2026, customers utilizing Managed Identity for Azure resources may have encountered issues when trying to create, update, delete, or acquire tokens in the East US and West US regions. These errors impacted dependent services such as Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Databricks, Azure Stream Analytics, Azure Kubernetes Service, Microsoft Copilot Studio, Azure Chaos Studio, Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Servers, Azure Container Apps, and Azure AI Video Indexer. Please be aware that this is not an exhaustive list of affected services, and further updates will be provided as additional information is obtained.Current Status: The underlying Managed Identity service has been stabilized, and key mitigation actions-including targeted service restarts and controlled traffic throttling-have been successfully applied.As a result, most customer workloads are now recovering, and traffic is being safely and gradually ramped up to normal levels while we continue close monitoring. While core functionality has largely been restored, a small number of dependent workloads may still experience intermittent delays or retries as the environment continues to fully stabilize.We will continue to actively monitor all dependent services and address any remaining tail issues.The next update will be provided within 60 minutes, or as events warrant.
Active - Virtual Machines and dependent services - Service management issues in multiple regions
Impact statement: As early as 19:46 UTC on 2 February 2026, we became aware of an issue causing customers to receive error notifications when performing service management operations - such as create, delete, update, scaling, start, stop - for Virtual Machines (VMs) affecting multiple regions. These issues are also impacting services with dependencies on these service management operations - including Azure Arc Enabled Servers, Azure Batch, Azure Cache for Redis, Azure Container Apps, Azure DevOps (ADO), Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure Backup, Azure Load Testing, Azure Firewall, Azure Search, Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets (VMSS), GitHub (see https://www.githubstatus.com)..Current status: We determined that these issues were caused by a recent configuration change that affected public access to certain Microsoft‑managed storage accounts, used to host extension packages. We have applied our mitigation across all impacted regions and have performed validation checks to ensure that all affected resources have had their configurations updated. At this stage, customers should see signs of recovery across regions. We are currently monitoring downstream services for any further impact. Our next update will be provided by 08:00 UTC, approximately 2 hours from now, or sooner if we have progress to share.
