My site is hosted on Azure in the Dublin (Europe North) region. On Friday morning, I was checking something when I saw my site was not loading correctly \u2013 it was either offline or VERY slow. So I check the Azure status and saw it was offline. I restarted the application pool and the problem remained. I rebooted. MySQL took an age to load, but the site was still not loading \u2026 from home.<\/p>\n

I have endpoint monitoring configured. Notice that Amsterdam was showing an issue and Chicago was not. Strange, eh? I\u2019ve worked in hosting and I know how localised these problems can be. So it was time to start digging.<\/p>\n

I asked online and people in Denmark were OK. Folks in Belfast and Netherlands had connection problems. Later, Denmark went offline and Amsterdam came back!<\/p>\n

From Home (Vodafone Ireland – very slow\/no access) I ran a tracert:<\/p>\n

From the lab at work (Magnet ISP – access OK) I had different results:<\/p>\n

From a VM with an ISP (Blacknight – access OK) I had different results again:<\/p>\n

It was very odd. Nothing was red on the Azure status site<\/a>. I\u2019m guessing there was a localized issue within Azure that affected just a subset of us, or there was an external routing issue that affected some ISPs.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s still like this as I post \u2026 in other words, the site is fine for some and offline for others.<\/p>\n

EDIT (30\/7\/2014):<\/p>\n

I came home today to find that my site was once again available <\/a>via my ISP.<\/p>\n
