Cheers for voting above everyone, according to the votes it looks like this is a complete worldwide outage across all agents 😨

This is a closed issue but it should still be sending notifications to maintainers, I recommend raising critical severity tickets on Azure support if this is severely impacting you to get some attention to this issue, nothing official yet. I've DM'd @AzureDevOps on Twitter for what it's worth but I am not severely impacted as it's out of work hours for us and we don't critically need them at the moment.

There are other issues that were just created also:

The problem is that there is not the place to report service availability issues:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/user-guide/service-status-info?view=azure-devops#:~:text=report%20your%20issue%20using%20the%20Report%20a%20Service%20Availability%20Issue%20form
