Why Does Everything Break At Once?

If you’ve ever tried checking your email or using an app and suddenly nothing works, you’ve probably been caught in a cloud outage. And lately, they’ve been happening more often- taking major services offline all at once. 

Recently, big-name platforms like AWS, Azure, and Cloudflare experienced outages that caused widespread disruptions across apps, websites, and business systems.

One Microsoft Azure outage even lasted over 10 hours - what started as a simple misconfiguration in Microsoft‑managed storage accounts spiralled into widespread failures.

Virtual machines couldn’t start, apps couldn’t authenticate and even GitHub Actions stopped working. And it didn’t stop there: when Microsoft rushed to fix that first issue, the fix triggered a second outage that affected identity services (the systems that verify who you are when you log into things). In plain terms? A huge number of apps simply couldn’t “log in,” even though their servers were running.

Microsoft 365 Outage

Then came the Microsoft 365 outage - more than nine hours of issues affecting Outlook, Teams and other apps. For millions of workers, it meant “no email today,” and for businesses, customer enquiries stalled and support queues piled up.

It wasn’t just a tech hiccup - it disrupted real‑world communication for hours.

In simple terms:

When the cloud stumbles, the internet falls over with it.

So, why does everything seem to break at once?

There’s a storm brewing behind the scenes:

Cloud providers are dealing with massively increased demand
AI workloads require more computing power than ever
Systems are more interconnected, so one failure spreads fast

As researchers noted after multiple 2025/2026 outages, the complexity of today’s cloud systems means a small misconfiguration or infrastructure hiccup can create a chain reaction affecting millions.

How Naglotech helps you stay steady when the cloud gets shaky

At Naglotech, we know you can’t afford to sit helplessly during an outage. Here’s how we help you stay resilient:

1. Smart Resilience Planning: We design systems that keep your business running - even when the cloud isn’t. That includes multi‑region setups, backup access routes and solutions that reduce your dependency on a single provider.

2. Proactive Monitoring: We keep watch 24/7 so we can spot issues early, communicate quickly and help you avoid downtime where possible.

3. Clear, Calm Communication During Outages: During cloud incidents, confusion causes as much pain as the outage itself. We give you simple, timely updates and guidance - no jargon - so you know exactly what’s going on and what to do next.

4. Fast Recovery Support: When outages resolve, we help bring systems back online smoothly and make sure everything is running safely.

5. Long‑Term Strategy: After major outages (like those Microsoft 365 and Azure incidents), we help businesses adapt their infrastructure so they're better protected the next time the cloud gets wobbly.

In Summary


Cloud outages aren’t going anywhere - the systems powering our digital world are huge, complex, and sometimes fragile. But with the right preparation and the right partner, they don’t have to bring your business to a standstill.

Naglotech helps you build resilient cloud systems, minimise downtime, and keep your operations running smoothly, even when the unexpected happens.
