Azure outage due to Expired SSL certificate
In less than 2 days of coming out with good performance numbers on object storage, Azure had an outage due to an expired SSL certificate. I remember of a very similar problem for their microsoft.com domain with expired DNS registration in the year 2000 (or 2001) during the Christmas holiday time. Looks like silly housekeeping items are causing business issues.
