    Root Cause:

    There was no Azure outage at the specified time. After consulting with the customer, we learned that the issue was caused by a change in the firewall rules, which was resolved by reverting to the previous settings.

    Further investigation confirmed that the root cause was a recent adjustment to the firewall configuration. The customer's follow-up provided clarity and valuable insight into the issue.

    Hi @Sam Ellis ,

    currently there are no issues reported here:

    https://azure.status.microsoft/en-us/status

    https://azure.status.microsoft/en-us/status/history/

    During the day I noticed some delays/longer runtimes during provisioning of Azure services.

    Do you noticed any special issues in which Azure region?
