Microsoft’s .NET Shuffle: Developers Brace for CDN Chaos!
Microsoft’s “unexpected change” in .NET installer distribution means developers need to update infrastructure—or risk downtime. With the Edgio platform going kaput by 2025, it’s an urgent sprint to Azure Front Door CDNs. Remember, adopting a custom domain isn’t just smart—it’s Microsoft-approved!
Hot Take:
Ah, Microsoft, always keeping us on our toes. Just when you thought you could relax with your .NET setups, they pull a “surprise” switcheroo. The plot twist? It’s not a new feature but a new CDN! Who needs a peaceful holiday season when you can spend it migrating your entire infrastructure? Thanks, Microsoft, for the early Christmas gift!
Key Points:
- Microsoft is shifting .NET installers and archives from Azure CDN domains ending in .azureedge[.]net to Azure Front Door CDNs.
- This change is due to Akamai acquiring assets from Edgio, which hosted the current CDN domains, and the upcoming platform shutdown in January 2025.
- Automatic migration is planned, but not for endpoints using *.vo.msecnd.net; manual migration is required by January 7, 2025.
- Users are encouraged to adopt custom domains to avoid service disruptions and potential security concerns.
- Microsoft has taken control of the azureedge[.]net domain to prevent security threats.
