Wasn't there a major fiber cut in Egypt a few days ago? I wonder if Microsoft's infrastructure is responding poorly to that...
Exchange Online and Microsoft Teams went down in APAC because Microsoft broke itself
Microsoft's flagship cloudy productivity services are down across the Asia-Pacific region. "Our initial investigation indicates that there our service infrastructure is performing at a sub-optimal level, resulting in impact to general service functionality" states an advisory time-stamped 12:41PM on December 2. The incident …

On-prem Exchange was much less hassle than cloudy Exchange! Once on-prem was set up it normally just worked other than the occasional dodgy patch (which could usually be identified and removed fairly quickly). Cloudy Exchange is a law unto itself and you can never predict when they might break it, or introduce an "improvement" which causes something you use to stop working.

Co-signed. Exchange 2010 was fine, and 2016 was when everything you wanted in terms of HA and so on worked very nicely. I had more uptime over my 16 years managing Exchange on-prem than MSFT has managed to achieve for one calendar year in the APAC region.
I had one server stop delivering mail for about 6 hours - small region, about 10% of the user base (fixed with a stinking reboot, after exhausting every other troubleshooting option). And that is literally all, other than dodgy CUs, as you say.

Re: "this incident is getting worse"
I think sentience must have occurred in the non-MS parts of the infrastructure (because, let's face it, with Microsoft code you have at least no worries about accidentally creating SkyNet) and they have taken action to isolate the infection.
At present, MS representatives are busy bribing the owners of the functioning infrastructures to implement .Net or similar viruses, so disservices will be resumed shortly.
Yes, I haven't had my coffee yet. Why do you think? Grr.

My memories of Exchange servers are a lot worse than that. Some fairly catastrophic problems caused by putting too much into public folders for one, some really awkward problems relating to starting up a new server when the others went down in an earthquake, occasional slow synchronisation and message transfer between servers. It was a while ago I was involved with that admittedly.
