Support Scope

  • Break-fix issues are technical problems you experience while using Azure services. "Break-fix" is an industry term that refers to “work involved in supporting a technology when it fails in the normal course of its function, which requires intervention by a support organization to be restored to working order."
  • We support all the Azure services that are publicly available online, as well as non-Microsoft technologies (e.g. the sample codes of Azure SDK and Python ) provided by Microsoft as part of Azure product functions.
  • For more information about support scope, please visit Support FAQ.
