Code automation stalwarts have endured a frustrating start to the week after GitHub Action began tottering this morning, taking a number of carefully crafted workflows down with it.
User problems were first reported at 9.44 UTC on 1 March, and a minute before the hour the Microsoft division admitted there was "degraded availability" for GitHub actions.
That degraded availability manifested itself for affected users as a neverending queue for jobs.
The outage comes on the eve of Microsoft's Ignite virtual shindig, where the company will doubtless be extolling the virtues of its cloudy product lines.
