Urgent: Developers Must Migrate from Edgio's Domains Before January 2025

Microsoft has issued an urgent notification to developers using .NET, highlighting the need to migrate from Edgio's domains before January 2025. This change is prompted by Edgio's bankruptcy and the subsequent acquisition of its assets by Akamai.

Background

Edgio, formerly known as Limelight Networks, was a prominent content delivery network (CDN) provider. In September 2024, Edgio filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, leading to the sale of its assets to Akamai in December 2024. Consequently, Edgio's CDN services, including domains like INLINECODE0 and INLINECODE1 , are scheduled to cease operations on January 15, 2025. (datacenterdynamics.com)

Implications for Developers

Developers relying on Edgio-hosted domains for .NET binaries and installers must take immediate action to prevent service disruptions. Microsoft recommends updating references in codebases, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment configurations to the new domains:

  • Official Builds: INLINECODE2
  • CI Builds: INLINECODE3

Failure to update by January 7, 2025, may result in service interruptions, as Microsoft plans to automatically migrate workloads to Azure Front Door by that date. (devblogs.microsoft.com)

Technical Details

The migration involves several key steps:

  1. Audit and Update Domain References: Scan your infrastructure for references to INLINECODE4 and update them to the new domains.
  2. Automatic Migration: Microsoft will migrate workloads to Azure Front Door by January 7, 2025, for profiles not updated.
  3. Custom Domains: Implementing custom domains is recommended for greater flexibility and to avoid single points of failure.

For detailed guidance, refer to Microsoft's official documentation. (devblogs.microsoft.com)

Conclusion

Developers must act promptly to update their .NET domain references to ensure uninterrupted service and maintain application security. Adhering to Microsoft's guidelines and timelines is crucial for a smooth transition.
