Microsoft Azure mit 12-stündigem Ausfall – War der Schalttag (29. Februar) das Problem?
Auf Grund eines schweren Ausfalls der Cloud-Plattform Microsoft Azure am vergangenen Dienstag, waren eine Vielzahl von Kunden nicht in der Lage auf Teile der Kernbereiche des Service für mehr als 12 Stunden zuzugreifen. Das Problem soll auf den Schalttag (29.Februar) zurückzuführen sein, das zu einem Problem mit der Sicherheits-Zertifizierung führte.
Wie Data Center Knowledge und andere Quellen Microsoft zitieren, war der Grund des Ausfalls ein Zertifizierungsproblem, dass mit dem 29.02.2012 in Verbindung steht. Das führt natürlich zu vielen Spekulationen. In einer direkten Stellungnahme von Microsoft wurde zwar darauf hingewiesen, dass die meisten Kunden wieder wie gewohnt arbeiten können, macht aber keinen Verweis auf ein Zertifikatsproblem.

Engineering teams are actively working to resolve the issue as soon as possible We will update the Service Dashboard, at http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/support/service-dashboard/, hourly until this incident is resolved.
