News & Reviews:   Microsoft Azure

If you’ve been having problems with Microsoft Teams, Azure or Outlook today then you’re not the only one, as cloud users across the world lost access. Countries affected included the US, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. Microsoft says that it has mostly recovered from a “networking outage” and it should be business as usual though.

While Microsoft recently announced that it would integrate OpenAI into all of its Office and Windows products, the first to get it looks to be its Azure OpenAI Service. Available starting this week, it will allow businesses to integrate OpenAI tools like DALL-E and soon ChatGPT for their cloud apps.

Today, Microsoft has announced that it will establish its first datacenter region in Malaysia to deliver trusted cloud services locally. It is aligned with the Bersama Malaysia initiative that is committed to empowering Malaysia’s inclusive digital economy and advancing the nation’s digital transformation across the private and public sectors.
