A big outage in Microsoft’s cloud services on Friday affected businesses worldwide, including airlines, banks, media companies, and healthcare. It was reported that many users in the Central US had problems with Azure services and Microsoft 365 apps. The issues were mostly about service management failures and problems with connectivity or availability.

As the world paused, social media buzzed with stories of the Microsoft outage. One post on X went viral when Akshay Kothari shared a photo of his Indigo boarding pass for a Hyderabad to Kolkata flight. With the usual printed details handwritten, it captured the essence of a day disrupted by the technology glitch.
