Windows Azure’s storage service hit a speed bump Thursday, with a full disruption reported across several regions on the company’s status page.
Microsoft said the issue surfaced at 2:22 p.m. PDT and as of 3:37 p.m. the status post said:
21 Nov 2013 10:22 PM UTC We are experiencing an issue with Storage connecting to the network in North Central US, South Central US, North Europe, Southeast Asia, West Europe, East Asia, East US and West US. We are actively investigating this issue and assessing its impact to our customers. Further updates will be published to keep you apprised of the impact. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes our customers.
The issue apparently took down Xbox Live and some other services — and even at times the Microsoft status page itself, according to TechCrunch and other reports. I’ll update this story as more information comes available. Several Azure watchers said the real issue was a DNS problem which Microsoft Corporate VP Scott Guthrie confirmed on Twitter.
@snayagar No – Azure is not having issues (customer apps continue to run fine). The problem is a DNS name server issue outside of azure—

I’ve pinged Microsoft for comment and will update when possible.
Some services returning now. It's how I can send this tweet now. Patience, please, and sorry for the inconvenience.—
