A major Azure Databricks outage began at 09:49 UTC on October 1, 2026, affecting the West Europe region for approximately 4 hours. A cloud provider infrastructure issue disrupted VM provisioning, causing widespread failures across Serverless Compute, Databricks SQL, Jobs, Notebooks, AI/BI, Databricks Apps, and Lakeflow Pipelines — with users unable to start workloads, experiencing cluster allocation timeouts, and seeing jobs and pipelines stall or fail. Databricks engineering teams worked with the cloud provider to restore provisioning capacity while also taking internal steps to reduce load on affected systems.

We are actively investigating an issue affecting Databricks compute.
We will provide another update within 1 hour, or sooner if there is a material change in service status.
Impact Summary
Starting at 09:49 UTC on October 1, 2026, customers using Azure Databricks in West Europe may experience degraded availability with Serverless Compute. Affected customers may be unable to start or run serverless workloads for notebooks, workflows, and Lakeflow pipelines, and may encounter cluster allocation timeouts or errors.
Symptoms
• Serverless workloads failing to start
• Cluster allocation timeouts when launching serverless workloads
• Unexpected termination of serverless workloads
Recommendations
No customer action is required at this time.
Current Status
The issue is under active investigation.
Next Update
We will provide another update within 1 hour, or sooner if there is a material change in service status.
Impact Summary
Starting at 09:49 UTC on October 01, 2026, customers using Azure Databricks in West Europe may experience degraded availability with Serverless Compute, AI/BI, Databricks SQL, Declarative Pipelines, Jobs, and Notebooks.

We will provide another update within 1 hour, or sooner if there is a material change in service status.
Impact Summary
Starting at 09:49 UTC on October 01, 2026, customers using Azure Databricks in West Europe may experience failures or degraded availability with Serverless Compute, Databricks SQL (including Serverless SQL warehouses), AI/BI, Databricks Apps, Lakeflow Declarative Pipelines, Jobs, and Notebooks. Affected customers may see errors when starting workloads, cluster allocation timeouts, or unexpected workload terminations.
Symptoms
• Serverless workloads fail to start or hit cluster allocation timeouts.
• Jobs and pipeline runs stay pending, fail, or end unexpectedly.
• SQL warehouses, dashboards, notebooks, and apps fail to start, load, or run.
Recommendations
No customer action is required at this time.
Current Status
We have identified the cause. An issue with our cloud provider's infrastructure is affecting how virtual machines are provisioned for Azure Databricks in West Europe. Our engineering teams are working with the cloud provider to bring back provisioning capacity. We are also taking steps on our side to reduce load on the affected systems and help workloads recover. We are closely watching compute provisioning and service health while this work continues.
Next Update
We will provide another update within 1 hour, or sooner if service status changes significantly.
