That had a legitimately productivity cost to a lot of companies, and the more vested in the VSTS toolchain you were the harder hit you were.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;m legitimately surprised they&amp;#x27;re launching this so soon after that, particularly considering there&amp;#x27;s been no real post-mortem, and no update on how they&amp;#x27;ll stop this happening again.&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;It is Azure&amp;#x27;s fault&amp;quot; isn&amp;#x27;t an answer, and re-branding this Azure DevOps makes that excuse almost hilarious. I&amp;#x27;m well aware that Azure AD was down, and that VSTS has a strong dependency on it, but ultimately we&amp;#x27;re still talking about a single data center bringing down VSTS for all of North America for an entire work-day.&lt;p&gt;It has been a week and now they&amp;#x27;re trying to encourage you to push your whole deployment toolchain (manage, build, test) into their cloud.</text></comment>
