Is Bing immune to DDOS attacks?

Question

Hello MS Community,

as part of a university / cyber security course we were discussing hypothetical DDOS cases, and I discussed in theory whether a MS service could be brought down with a DDOS attack. As an illustrative case I brought up the case that Bing might be flooded with requests and, at least, partially, go down in one area or a full continent etc.

Can we share any insights, how large (Tbps) the attack had to be and how much downtime we would find acceptable, and in how short a timeframe services could be restored?

Any help is highly appreciated (if such insights were open to sharing publicly),
Thanks in advance!

I understand that you are looking for DDoS Protection limits for Bing's services. However, since this is not an Azure question, I cannot provide you information regarding the same. Bing team does not monitor these threads. I can definitely let you know some details regarding how Azure handles DDOS which is discussed here -what-level-of-ddos-can-azure-handle.html. If you have any further questions regarding how Azure DDOS works, please let us know further and we will be glad to assist. Thank you!
