The Azure service itself was apparently not down, but its website and status page were mostly unreachable owing to Microsoft's DNS outage. That lasted about an hour I think.

Also DNS responses for Hotmail/Outlook, for A, MX, AAAA records, were coming back empty with no error code. Therefore some amount of emails to those services will have bounced as permanently undeliverable / unrouteable. This continued to happen intermittently for several more hours after other services came back online. Seems to be fixed as of Friday morning.
