### 2026-08-20 12:48 UTC: investigating
An issue affecting the creation of new Serverless projects in Azure's eastus region has been identified. Our team is actively investigating to determine the root cause.
We will provide a follow-up status update within the next hour or as soon as the root cause is established, whichever occurs first.

### 2026-08-20 14:05 UTC: monitoring
We have determined that the issue stems from an upstream problem with Azure's storage component. Upon examination, the impact is limited strictly to new project initialization times, resulting in longer creation times for Serverless projects in the Azure eastus region.
We will provide a further update once the issue has been resolved.

### 2026-08-20 16:22 UTC: resolved
Azure's storage component issues in the eastus region have been resolved. Consequently, Serverless project creation times have returned to normal and are functioning as expected.
