ES-2137564

We are actively investigating an issue affecting Databricks compute.

Next Update

We will provide another update within 1 hour, or sooner if there is a material change in service status.

Starting at approximately 10:05 UTC on August 18, 2026, customers using Azure Databricks may be experiencing failures or delays when starting or terminating compute clusters. Some customers may also see errors or degraded availability when running queries and jobs or accessing dashboards, as well as increased error rates across web application endpoints and while accessing notebooks.

Symptoms
• Failures or delays starting or terminating compute clusters
• Errors or failures when running queries or accessing dashboards
• Increased error rates when accessing web application endpoints
• Increase errors running jobs dependent on Clusters.

Recommendations
No customer action is required at this time.

Current Status
The incident is currently under active investigation as engineering teams work to identify the root cause and restore full service availability.

Next Update
We will provide another update within 1 hour, or sooner if there is a material change in service status.

Starting at approximately 10:05 UTC on August 18, 2026, customers using Azure Databricks may experience failures or delays when starting or terminating compute clusters, as well as errors, slow performance, or degraded availability with Databricks SQL, Jobs, and Notebooks. Some customers may also experience higher error rates or slower loading when accessing the workspace web application.

Symptoms
• Failures or delays starting or terminating compute clusters
• Errors, slow performance, or unavailability when using Databricks SQL, Jobs, or Notebooks
• Increased error rates or slow loading when accessing the workspace web application

Recommendations
No customer action is required at this time.

Current Status
Engineering has identified the underlying cause and applied a mitigation; teams continue to closely monitor as some impact persists while working toward full recovery.

Next Update
We will provide another update within 1 hour, or sooner if there is a material change in service status.

Starting at approximately 10:05 UTC on August 18, 2026, customers using Azure Databricks may be experiencing failures or delays when starting or terminating compute clusters, as well as errors, slow performance, or degraded availability when using Databricks SQL, Jobs, and Notebooks. Some customers may also see increased error rates, slow loading, or a higher number of retried requests when accessing the workspace web application.

Symptoms
• Failures or delays starting or terminating compute clusters
• Errors, slow performance, or unavailability when using Databricks SQL, Jobs, or Notebooks
• Increased error rates, slow loading, or throttled/retried requests when accessing the workspace web application

Recommendations
No customer action is required at this time.

Current Status
Engineering has identified the underlying cause and applied a mitigation; most services are recovering, though some customers may still experience a higher-than-normal number of retried or throttled requests while teams work toward full resolution.

Next Update
We will provide another update within 1 hour, or sooner if there is a material change in service status.
