So much for the idea of 99.999% uptime with the magical "cloud" buzzword. I noticed during this downtime in North America that Word Online wasn't functioning as my daughter tried to use it to do some homework.

If you want 99.999% uptime, use Azure TrafficManager and set up failover loadbalancing to different datacenters. We have failover loadbalancing running between multiple datacenters, no issue here! edit : 99.99%

  The SLA mentions 99.9% or 99.99% for Database connectivity. Where does 99.999% come from? Do Microsoft say this about Traffic Manager or are you suggesting you have to pay for extra services to get the advertised reliability figure?

  Oh its 99.9% from Microsoft see http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/sla/ http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/sla/ which means they get 9h a year to hit the SLA see http://uptime.is/ http://uptime.is/

    Except most people use monthly periods for their SLAs

  They are selling 99.99% availability over a monthtly cycle for their Storage service. 99.95% connectivity for their Virtual Machine service. http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/sla/ http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/sla/ 9 hours of downtime means they are down to at most 98.75% for this cycle.
