Azure VM Control Plane Outage, GitHub Agent HQ (Claude + Codex), Claude Opus 4.6, Gemini CLI, MCP

Author: Teller's Tech - DevOps, SRE and Cloud Podcast February 7, 2026 Duration: 20:53

This week on Ship It Weekly, Brian hits four “control plane + trust boundary” stories where the glue layer becomes the incident.

Azure had a platform incident that impacted VM management operations across multiple regions. Your app can be up, but ops is degraded.

GitHub is pushing Agent HQ (Claude + Codex in the repo/CI flow), and Actions added a case() function so workflow logic is less brittle.

MCP is becoming platform plumbing: Miro launched an MCP server and Kong launched an MCP Registry.
