FYI, MIcrosoft had an outage in their Azure data center. It went down at 10pm last night, and we still don't have all the servers up yet, some are ours, some are clients and we have to do the bulk of the recovery work. Don't think because something is just 'cloud' that magically sh_t doesn't happen and that recovery can take time....Unless you have EverSafe of course :)

These outages seem to be common for Azure with 39.77 hours of downtime in 2014. Amazon had 2.41 hours.

Azure has been the least reliable of the major clouds. Imagine that from Microsoft!
