 On the Azure Cloud Software Status Report site, Microsoft said that service went down for some customers in the central U.S. around 6 p.m. Eastern, including failures with service management operations and connectivity or availability of services. The company said it determined the cause and is working to fix it. A company spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A number of international airlines also reported tech disruptions today, including Virgin, Australia and Contis, as I mentioned just a minute ago, along with airports.
