Critical: .NET Install links are changing - .NET Blog
devblogs.microsoft.com
The .NET installers and archives distribution method is currently changing unexpectedly. This change may impact your development, CI, and production infrastructure. It is crucial to validate if you are affected and monitor for any downtime or disruptions.

One of two Azure CDN providers was Edgio, which filed for bankruptcy.

azureedge.net dotnet CDN URLs will cease to work sometime next year after January 15th.

We expect that most users will not be directly affected, however, it is critical that you validate if you are affected and to watch for downtime or other kinds of breakage.

We maintain multiple Content Delivery Network (CDN) instances for delivering .NET builds. Some 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.

Affected domains:

  • dotnetcli.azureedge.net
  • dotnetbuilds.azureedge.net

Unaffected domains:

  • dotnet.microsoft.com
  • download.visualstudio.microsoft.com
  • skulbunyEnglish
