Microsoft Cloud Outage Grounds Flights, Disrupts Operations Of Frontier, Allegiant, And Sun Country Airlines, Leading To Hundreds Of Cancellations And Delays
A widespread Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) cloud service disruption on Thursday led to the grounding and cancellation of flights for several airlines, including Frontier Group Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:ULCC), Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ:ALGT), and Sun Country Airlines (NASDAQ:SNCY).
周四，微软公司（NASDAQ: MSFT）的云服务大规模故障导致多家航空公司（包括 Frontier Group Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ULCC)、忠诚旅游 (NASDAQ: ALGT) 和 Sun Country Airlines (NASDAQ: SNCY)）的航班被迫停飞或取消。
What Happened: Microsoft reported issues with its cloud services in the Central U.S. region, which significantly impacted the operations of several airlines, Reuters reported on Friday.
路透社周五报道，微软报告其中部美国地域板块的云服务存在问题，这对多家航空公司的运营产生了重大影响。
The low-cost carriers, including Frontier Airlines, Allegiant, and Sun Country, experienced outages that affected their day-to-day operations.
包括 Frontier 航空、忠诚旅游和 Sun Country 航空在内的廉价航空公司经历了导致其日常运营受影响的故障。
Frontier Airlines confirmed that a "major Microsoft technical outage" had temporarily disrupted its operations. On the other hand, Sun Country pointed to a third-party vendor that affected its booking and check-in facilities, without naming the company. Allegiant's website was also affected, leading to its unavailability.
Frontier 航空证实“微软技术故障”暂时中断了其运营。而 Sun Country 指向一家未命名的第三方供应商影响了其预订和办理登机手续的设施。忠诚旅游的网站也受到了影响，导致其不可用。
As a result, Frontier Airlines had to cancel 147 flights and delay 212 others on Thursday. Allegiant and Sun Country also experienced significant disruptions, with 45% and 23% of their flights delayed, respectively.
结果，Frontier 航空周四不得不取消了 147 个航班并推迟了其他 212 个。忠诚旅游和 Sun Country 也经历了重大的故障，分别有 45% 和 23% 的航班延误。
Microsoft's outage began at approximately 6 p.m. ET on Thursday, affecting a subset of its customers with issues in multiple Azure services in the Central U.S. region. Azure is a cloud computing platform that offers services for building, deploying, and managing applications and services.
微软的故障始于周四晚上大约 6 点（东部时间），影响了其位于中部美国地域板块的多个 Azure 服务存在问题的客户子集。Azure 是一个云计算平台，为构建、部署和管理应用程序和服务提供服务。
Why It Matters: This is not the first time Microsoft has faced issues with its cloud services. In January 2023, Microsoft 365 experienced a global outage that impacted services like Teams, Outlook, and Xbox Live. The company later identified a potential networking issue.
这不是微软第一次面临其云服务存在问题。在2023年1月，Microsoft 365 经历了一次全球性故障，影响了类似 Teams、Outlook 和 Xbox Live 等服务。该公司后来确定了一个潜在的网络问题。
Microsoft's cloud services have also been subject to scrutiny. In May, a Spanish startup group filed a complaint against Microsoft's cloud practices, alleging that the tech giant was using its dominant position to force the adoption of its Azure cloud. This complaint adds to the challenges faced by Microsoft's rapidly expanding cloud computing services.
微软的云服务也受到了审查。今年五月，一家西班牙创业团体对微软的云业务实践提出了投诉，称该技术巨头利用其主导位置强制推广 Azure 云平台。这一投诉为微软快速扩张的云计算服务增添了挑战。
In its annual sustainability report in May, Microsoft reported a nearly 30% increase in emissions since 2020, primarily driven by the expansion of data centers required for AI and cloud computing.
今年五月，在其年度可持续性报告中，微软报告了排放量的大约 30% 的增幅，主要受到人工智能和云计算所需数据中心的扩张推动。
Price Action: Microsoft Corp's stock closed at $440.37 on Thursday, down 0.71% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock rose 0.28%. Year to date, Microsoft shares have gained 18.74%, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
