Re: [AusNOG] Azure AD - Office 365 outage

[Joshua D'Alton]

Quite a 'few' :)

It seems to be login.microsoftonline.com which is borked, so consequently
cannot login to Azure or office online or anything which requires
authentication via this. The status says existing sessions aren't impacted,
that might be a bit hit and miss as many existing sessions stopped working
(because they tried to re-auth token via login.ms more than likely, as
multiple tabs are now stuck on
https://login.microsoftonline.com/ORGSITENAMEHERE/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?client_id
)

How does one do a full whois which shows expiration and other contacts and
so on?

How are people with domains which might be expiring tomorrow performing a
renewal if say the account information is unknown and they need to do a
reset and so on? I can't believe we aren't seeing thousands of complaints
as thousands of domains aren't renewed for various reasons.. but which
maybe under the new rule won't be much longer than before where you had to
fax in the letterhead blah blah, but still.?

Re: [AusNOG] Telstra mobile issues again?

[Joshua D'Alton]

If a business, regardless of size, isn't looking at these Telstra outages
(or any of their provider outages really) and getting the ball rolling on
what to do about it. well, not good.

The smallest business has the ability, even if not the
intelligence/motivation/smarts/etc, to evaluate what they rely on and the
level of continuity they require. Literally even just reading this thread
should be enough to raise the appropriate questions, such as "why do you
think something like "they pay for a service. It probably isn't the
cheapest, but they pay for it anyhow because the name brings an element of
trust" means zero downtime?"

It is interesting that there has been a shift between services you could
totally rely on (say Telstra in the 90s), to those you can't even with a
tight SLA (Telstra now..), but the reality is those considering a
bulletproof system in the 90s still had a backup incase of a Telstra outage.

But back to the OP, Telstra dropping 000 should be hounded like no
tomorrow. People think power gas is essential services, but 000 is actually
essential. Is anyone monitoring the ACMA or whoever responses to these
events and the lapsing of SLAs?

Re: [AusNOG] AAPT Routing Issue

[Joshua D'Alton]

There was a blog post a while ago explaining turning off expensive transit
for their free product. I believe only affected Au and maybe south America.

How do you distinguish between a VPN and https?
