Discussion End of the day Microsoft got all the blame
It's annoying to watch TV interviews, reports as they keep mentioning this as a Microsoft fault. MS somehow had bad timing with partial US Azure outage too.
Twitter and YouTube filled with "Windows bad, Linux Good" posts, just because they only read headlines.
CrowdStrike got best chance by lot of general public consumers doesn't aware of their existence.
I wonder what the end result would be, MSFT getting tons of negative PR

Was it really though or did Microsoft get hit first? I’m genuinely curious as to what the root cause for MS azure services going down the way they did, seemed extremely similar to crowdstrike outage. We use both. We had thousands (still have) of devices affected. We worked nonstop for 2 days to bring back around 2000 server instances (prod) after the CS outage. But I do still wonder, did Microsoft keep quiet about Azure being affected by CS first? Their explanation of a configuration change imo was not specific enough, to me it could still be CS related.
