About Azure westus2

Azure westus2 (West US 2 (Washington)) is one of Microsoft Azure's high-traffic regions in United States. It is most often used for production workloads with West Coast latency requirements and DR for US-East, which means an outage here tends to surface as customer-facing issues for those workloads first. What makes westus2 distinct is that it concentrates a disproportionate share of customer workloads. This page tracks reachability and latency from outside Microsoft Azure's own network, so a regional issue can be visible here before it lands on the official Azure status page.
