Internet Status — February 7, 2026: Azure West US Power Incident; Minor Cloudflare Edge Outages
Two notable incidents are being tracked today, though neither represents a widespread internet disruption.
Microsoft Azure is recovering from an unexpected utility power interruption at its West US datacenter. Backup power systems activated and the facility has been fully operational since 12:30 UTC, but some storage and compute resources are still completing recovery. Dozens of Azure services in the West US region — including Virtual Machines, App Service, Azure Functions, SQL Database, Cosmos DB, and Azure OpenAI Service — show degraded availability. Azure engineering teams are actively working on validation, with updates expected hourly. Other Azure regions are unaffected.
Cloudflare is reporting minor partial outages at several edge locations across Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and North America (including Anchorage, Jacksonville, and Norfolk in the US). All core Cloudflare services — API, Dashboard, CDN, and Workers — remain fully operational. Extensive scheduled maintenance is planned across Cloudflare datacenters from February 9 through February 27.
All other major providers are operating normally. AWS, Google Cloud, OpenAI, GitHub, Akamai, Azure DevOps, and Fastly report no active issues.
Recently resolved incidents from the past 72 hours include: GitHub Copilot degraded performance due to high Opus 4.6 demand (Feb 6, resolved), GitHub Actions workflow delays (Feb 3, resolved), Azure VM provisioning and managed identity issues (Feb 2-3, resolved), and a brief ChatGPT outage (Feb 4, resolved).
No BGP routing incidents or DNS infrastructure issues have been detected today. The internet is up, with localized service degradation in Azure West US.
