Is Microsoft running corporate email/office in this office 365? Before I left they were doing a lot of talk about Microsoft licensing for office and I swear that I heard them indicate it would be online.

O365 is huge. The outage was in azure I believe.

I noticed several apps needed to be re-authenticated which means azure ad screwed up.

AD is a directory service. Many companies rent it to setup authentication.

I had to login to my thermostats. It lost the AD token.
