- investigating Sep 07, 2026, 02:42 PM UTC
Impact Summary: Starting at 11:27 UTC September 07, 2026, customers using Azure Databricks may experience failures or degraded availability with Classic Compute and Jobs. Affected customers may encounter cluster launch failures, clusters remaining in a pending state, or job runs failing or terminating during compute startup. Symptoms: • Cluster launch failures or clusters stuck in Pending or Starting • Notebook attach failures and unexpected cluster terminations • Jobs failing to start, remaining pending, or failing during cluster startup Recommendations: No customer action is required at this time. Current Status: The issue is under active investigation in coordination with the cloud provider. Next Update: We will provide another update within 1 hour, or sooner if there is a material change in service status.

- monitoring Sep 07, 2026, 04:12 PM UTC
Impact Summary: Between 11:27 UTC and 14:52 UTC September 07, 2026, customers using Azure Databricks may have experienced intermittent failures and degraded availability with Classic Compute, Serverless Compute, Databricks Apps, Declarative Pipelines, and Jobs. Affected customers may have encountered cluster launch failures, allocation timeouts, and elevated latency or delayed completion of job and pipeline runs during this window. Symptoms: • Cluster launch failures, clusters stuck in Pending or Starting, and terminations during startup • Serverless workloads failing to start, allocation timeouts, or unexpected workload termination • Jobs and pipeline runs remaining pending, failing, or completing with elevated latency; Databricks Apps slow to scale or returning errors Current Status: The issue has been mitigated and service is operational. Monitoring continues in coordination with the cloud provider. Next Update: We will provide another update within 1 hour, or sooner if there is a material change in service status.
