MY O365 is still up and running, should i expect it to stop soon....

 

Anytime soon:eyebrows:

Luckily I'm hiding in the ceiling pulling cables...

My office 365 logged in fine, but one of my users just reported an error with https://portal.microsoftonline.com/?wa=wsignin1.0 so no idea at the moment

[jthompson]

Weirdly, I'm happier with a global outage than with it being anything I'm responsible for fixing. It means that I'm free to continue eating my sandwich.

Are any of you using Chromebooks in the classroom and is this having much of an effect?

[Timetable]

Yes, if they aren't logged in they can't. Those who are in at the moment can use them, but once they log off......

Yep, users get "Couldn't find your Google Account" when they try to sign in.

aaaand we are back online

[rogerdnixon]

Yep - mail back here.

spoke too soon!

[MrEprise]

Sort of, logging into a Chromebook now produces a "You are not authorized to sign into this device" error.

[Koldov]

Cleaner at Google datacentre fired...

 

 

Seriously though... how does it actually happen?

 

They must have multiple resiliences, data network backbones etc...

 

Is there really one point of failure?

 

For all Google services?

 

For most of Europe (or worldwide)?

I’m not sure I would trust that. It shows no outages where I am...

A major source BBC news of dries up all of sudden!

 

[synaesthesia]

This one sentence from the BBC made my day.

 

"Google has been contacted for comment, but one spokesperson said they were unable to access their email."

You got a non-paywalled version of that?

Sounds an interesting read, even if not related at all.

 

Edit: Is it this about SolarWinds kit?
