WarningDatacenter Cooling Event - Southeast Asia
Impact statement: Starting around 20:19 UTC on 7 February 2023, a utility power surge in the Southeast Asia region tripped a subset of the cooling units for one datacenter offline. While working to restore the cooler units, temperatures in the datacenter increased so we have proactively powered down a small subset of selected compute and storage scale units, to avoid damage to hardware and reduce cooling system load. All impacted storage and compute scale units are in the same datacenter, within one of the region’s three Availability Zones (AZs). Multiple downstream services have been identified as impacted.
Datacenter teams are continuing work to bring the impacted cooling units back online.
Customers using services that are zonally-aware may consider failing out of the impacted zone, physical zone AZ-03. Note that physical zones are mapped to logical zones in your Azure subscription, Refer to:
