Sorry to write this here as a question, but I couldn't find any place to open a ticket.

If you open https://status.azure.com/ you get an certificate error because the certificate is issued for azure.microsoft.com.

I got this link when I tried to shut down an azure vm. Got an fullscreen error message with black background saying something went wrong and I should check the status. The link provided on the error message was https://status.azure.com/

Hello MichaelHauer,

Thank you for bringing this to our notice. I see that the link that you have sent sometimes is giving the Certificate error when you use https: instead of http:. I suggest that you use the following links to open the Status dashboard:

http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/status/

Or

http://status.azure.com/

Thanks,
