The following services are Below as being impacted on the Microsoft 365 status page, where the company has acknowledged that users may be unable to access several of them: Microsoft Teams, Exchange Online, Outlook, SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, Microsoft Graph.
Microsoft attributes this to “possible networking
issues” and is “reviewing telemetry to determine the next
troubleshooting steps.”

According to several reports from Twitter, Outlook, the email service from Microsoft, is down in India and a few other markets.

All of Prime, half the price.
Qualifying government assistance recipients can access all of Prime for $6.99/month (reg. /month).
Microsoft attributed the problem to a power incident that resulted in a storage system outage in the West Europe region. Database systems supporting Databricks services in the area experienced failures as a result of the outage. The company is working to minimise the downstream effects of the outage now that the storage service has been restored.
