(United States, 7th) Microsoft has said that due to the severing of multiple submarine cables in the Red Sea, users of its Azure cloud platform may experience system delays.
According to a Reuters report, on Saturday (September 6), Microsoft informed users in the latest status update of the Azure system that traffic passing through the Middle East region may experience service disruptions.
"We anticipate that some traffic that previously passed through the Middle East may see increased latency. Network traffic not routed through the Middle East is unaffected. We will continue to provide daily updates, and will update more quickly if conditions change."
Affected by this outage, Azure, the world’s second largest cloud service provider, has rerouted traffic via alternative network paths, and network traffic is not currently disrupted.
