Suprisingly I cannot start an Azure VM (Windows Server) which was yesterday successfully stopped and deallocated.
The message says:
"Provisioning failed.
No version found in the artifact repository that satisfies the requested version '' for VM extension with publisher 'Microsoft.WindowsAzure.GuestAgent' and type 'CRPProd'..
ArtifactVersionNotFound"

Seems not the only machine affected

Global outage? Any workarounds?
