This week, Microsoft's Linux package repositories suffered an hours-long outage, followed by performance issues spanning over a day.
Microsoft engineers have acknowledged the issue and are working towards a resolution.
Linux & Solaris specialist, Štefan Jarina first brought up the issue on June 16th, on getting a bunch of "404 not found" errors when downloading ".
"Our infra team is working on this. There is an issue with some of the mirrors on packages.microsoft.com so as per them, the current ETA to resolve this issue is in next two hours or so," said Bhandari.
While the issue was being investigated, several users asked for an "Incidence response report," as to why the mirror sites had also gone down in this outage, and why was this a recurring issue.
Although Microsoft's initial ETA to resolve the issue was "Two hours or so," the problem spanned well over 14 hours, with users continuing to experience degraded performance.
