Users may be unable to send encrypted email
Service Restored

More info: Users receive a Non-Delivery Report (NDR) with an exception message of "Failed to bootstrap tenant."

Final status: A large increase in requests for RMS encryption and decryption following an extended low traffic period due to December holidays resulted in resource throttling and this impact, as the service provider's processing resiliency didn't adapt in a timely manner. They increased database request processing capability, redeployed the affected encryption and decryption service used by RMS, and reallocated traffic within the region to restore service functionality and resolve the impact.

Scope of impact: This issue may have affected any North America user of RMS trying to send encrypted email.
