Users who expected to be able to use the resources of the Azure content delivery network (CDN) from Edgio until November 2025, as previously announced, had a not-so-festive “gift” this week – the CDN is now shutting down on Jan. 15, 2025.
In a post on Github, Rich Lander, principal program manager, .NET core at Microsoft, offered more detail. “Some .NET binaries and installers are hosted on Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) domains that end in .azureedge.net. These domains are hosted by edg.io, which will soon cease operations due to bankruptcy. We are required to migrate to a new CDN and will be using new domains going forward. It is possible that .azureedge.net domains will have downtime or become permanently unavailable,” he wrote.
“Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions installation tools are dependent on some of these resources,” he added. ”We are working directly with those teams to maintain continuity of service. They are moving to the new domains at best speed.”
