Microsoft stated on Saturday that several underwater fiber cuts in the Red Sea could result in higher latency for its Microsoft Azure users.
The company warned that its Azure system’s users would encounter service interruptions on Middle Eastern traffic routes in an updated status message.
In response to the disruption, Azure, the second-largest cloud provider in the world after Amazon, is called AWS.
“We do expect higher latency on some traffic that previously traversed through the Middle East. Network traffic that does not traverse through the Middle East is not impacted. We’ll continue to provide daily updates, or sooner if conditions change,” Microsoft stated.
