I've noticed that Azure Status seems to have become less reliable lately. In the past, it would report issues with some delay, but at least you could find out if the errors you were facing were due to Azure or your own setup. However, the last reported incident is from March 18, and since then, I've experienced ongoing issues with Synapse workspaces and serverless solutions that Microsoft support confirmed but haven't acknowledged publicly. Plus, there was a significant Entra problem and a long-standing Spark pool allocation issue without any updates. Recently, I got a confusing TCP reset error from Synapse SQL, which wrongly blamed my end. Is there any alternative way to get timely updates and acknowledge incidents, especially for older services? Maybe it's just a matter of following the right accounts on social platforms, but I feel like there should be more out there.
Am I the only one feeling this way, or do others think these problems aren't being reported adequately?

Totally feel you on this! The Azure status page is basically useless now. It’s become this ghost town where you can’t get real-time updates. Honestly, I’d recommend looking into third-party status feeds or even setting up your own alerts to stay informed. It’s crazy to think we can go months without any acknowledgment of issues.
What are some of those third-party feeds? Is there anything reliable besides Twitter?
