Does Azure-Stack work on-prem work if Azure is down?

Problem trying to solve: If Azure data centers go down I need to still be able to process activity locally in a company data center. Have to hit SLA's with own customers and they don't care if Azure Cloud is down.

Ideally I'd like to be able to have k8s and Azure serverless functions be identical in Azure cloud vs on-prem and be able to switch back and forth in an emergency.

    @Johnny Action , Azure Stack Hub works in a disconnected scenario. If the Stack was deployed connected to Azure, then there is a dependency on Azure AAD. Here is the impact to Azure Stack Hub functionality in connected scenarios if AAD is unavailable,

    Portal access both Tenant and Admin would be unavailable, depending on how long AAD is down as would any ARM applications or applications in stack using AAD. A VM would continue running but CRUD operations would not be available and new VM creation would fail. So, the impact is similar to Azure where most capabilities would be restricted/unavailable but the workload itself typically would continue to run.

    Note: In a fully air gaped/disconnected deployment against ADFS there would be no impact to the Azure Stack Hub
