We've validated an alternative health check method on a subset of affected infrastructure, which allowed the servers in that subset to successfully return to service, and we're now applying this change more broadly. We're also preparing an automated recovery process to continually detect and restart unresponsive servers, to help keep them in service while this change progresses. Additionally, our review of recent changes has identified a small number of configuration updates that we're investigating as potential contributors to the issue.

This reads like a hot mess. AND their just going to keep restarting machines until they can reach them with a POTENTIAL fix?

MAN, I hope there is a good post-disaster analysis of this one.

AND man I hope we can blame a LLM. #Microsoft #Microsoft365
