Azure Service Health

  • Azure Service Health helps you keep track of Azure resource, both your specifically deployed resources and the overall status of Azure.
  • Azure Service Health gives you a complete view of your Azure environment-all the way from the global status of Azure services and regions down to specific resources.
  • Historical alerts are stored and accessible for later review.
  • In the event that a workload you’re running is impacted by an event, Azure Service Health provides links to support.

Azure Status

  • Azure Status provides a broad picture of the status of Azure globally.
  • Azure status informs you of service outages in Azure.
  • You can view the health of all Azure services across all Azure regions.
  • It’s a good reference for incidents with widespread impact.

Service Health

  • Provides a narrower view of Azure services and regions.
  • It focuses on the Azure services and regions you're using.
  • This is the best place to look for communications about outages, planned maintenance activities, and other health advisories because the authenticated Service Health experience knows which services and resources you currently use.
  • You can even set up Service Health alerts to notify you when service issues, planned maintenance, or other changes may affect the Azure services and regions you use.

Resource Health

  • Provides a tailored view of your actual Azure resources.
  • It provides information about the health of your individual cloud resources, such as a specific virtual machine instance.
  • Using Azure Monitor, you can also configure alerts to notify you of availability changes to your cloud resources.
