    The issue is still present on Azure infrastructure side and ClickHouse Cloud team is actively monitoring for any impact for existing ClickHouse Clusters. Correction on earlier impact description: Provisioning of new instances is expected to work. Operations like autoscaling of the ClickHouse Keeper replicas can be stuck or slow. Latency for insert and DDL queries are not affected, thanks to cross-AZ redundancy.
