What's the point of even mentioning that when they just use the old name for the entirety of the article anyway

The point is that the headline should've been "Azure DevOps Outage…" but they're afraid that other outlets will take that over as "Azure Outage..." and they don't want a headline like that making the rounds. So they use the old name for bad news and the new name for good news.

TBH I'd do the same.

But is is an Azure outage. It took out a DC. VSTS is one of the services affected, but other services were also affected.
