More than just VM's
This issue is also affecting Batch Services as batch services spin up compute under the bonnet. We have P1's raised under enterprise support and have only 1 message sent at 18:00 yesterday.
Really poor stuff from Microsoft. If you try to create a new vm via the portal at the moment you get an error saying that services are unavailable in the region, and prompted to use another data centre.
A colleague with another consultancy I know also have another 2 P1's raised with little or no feedback either.
Looks like amateur hour in the UKWest datacentre this week....
