Users around the world lost access to Microsoft-linked tools as GitHub first flagged a widespread service disruption affecting Copilot, Teams, and other products. The issue was not limited to one region, with reports coming in from multiple countries.
Several reports pointed to Amazon Web Services as a possible cause, but there was no official confirmation of that link at the time of publication. One source also said that internet services were affected alongside GitHub and Amazon infrastructure.
Beyond developer tools, the outage also hit Microsoft services used for workplace communication, making the disruption especially painful for teams that depend on the company's ecosystem for both coding and daily coordination. Another report said GitHub went down globally together with Microsoft services, underscoring how broad the failure was.
By the way, Microsoft wants to speed up Windows 11 updates using AI in order to fix some of the problems that have been plaguing the OS for more than just the first update cycle.
How serious is it when one outage can disrupt GitHub, Copilot, Teams, and other Microsoft services at the same time?
