All three resolver of the big German hoster Hetzner went offline with 1.1.1.1 and were down another hour after 
Cloudflare was up again.
I hope it was a coincidence and they are not forwarding their requests to 1.1.1.1.

Did anyone see any collateral damage from this outside of Cloudflare? Specifically Azure?

I manage a very large site in Azure, and at the exact same time of the Cloudflare incident we saw a spike in traffic 
(like a DDoS or Bot), then followed by unusual hardware resource anomalies. We’re globally spread in Azure, but we 
only saw this in the US and Brazil.

Very coincidental, but possible.

More digging shows high latency to CloudFlare DNS servers from Comcast in Washington and Oregon as well as a few 
other providers (Charter, ToledoTel), etc...

Sites that do resolve using other DNS servers but are hosted on CloudFlare aren't loading.
Sites that use CloudFlare for their DNS aren't resolving either.
