Microsoft Urges Update of .NET Domains by January 7, 2025
/ 1 min read
🌐 Microsoft announces significant changes to .NET distribution methods. Microsoft is shifting the distribution of .NET installers and binaries from Azure CDN domains ending in .azureedge.net to Azure Front Door CDNs, following Akamai’s acquisition of Edgio, which is set to cease operations on January 15, 2025. Developers are urged to validate their systems for potential impacts and to prepare for automatic migration by January 7, 2025, unless they opt out using a specific feature flag. Microsoft emphasizes the importance of transitioning to custom domains to mitigate risks associated with service availability and security vulnerabilities. Users are advised to update their codebases to reflect the new distribution URLs to ensure continued functionality.
