"Active - Virtual Machine service management issues - Multiple regions
Impact statement: We are aware of an ongoing issue causing customers to receive error notifications when performing service management operations - such as create, delete, update, scaling, start, stop - for Virtual Machines (VMs). These issues are also causing impact to services with dependencies on these operations, including Azure Arc Enabled Servers, Azure Batch, Azure DevOps, and GitHub. For details on the latter, please see https://www.githubstatus.com. Current status: We have determined that these issues were caused by a recent configuration change that affected public access to certain Microsoft‑managed storage accounts, used to host extension packages. We are actively working on mitigation, including updating configuration to restore relevant access permissions. Our next update will be provided by 22:30 UTC, approximately 60 minutes from now.
