azureedge.net domain and related Azure services are expected to stop working very soon as Azure's provider, Edgio, has gone bankrupt.
It's more than .net team using that domain, customers do too.

Azure Front Door impact re Edgio bankruptcy, action required. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/frontdoor/migrate-cdn-to-front-door
Edgio actually filed for bankruptcy many months ago but apparently everybody pretended it wasn't happening, then when it informed customers it was definitely going under a month ago, everybody was on holiday.
See also DigiCert dropping IPv6 support etc.
Some answers to questions in the thread:
Q) didn’t Akamai buy Edgio?
A) no, they just purchased customer contacts (spoiler: sales calls are coming). Link: https://www.akamai.com/newsroom/press-release/akamai-announces-winning-bid-for-select-assets-of-edgio
Q) How do you know Digicert use Edgio?
A) nslookup something like Digicerts CRLs.
Another hilarious one is look at all the things currently hanging on Edgio - from things like open source projects with one guy in Nebraska to cloud services, this may turn out to be a bumper quarter for Downdetector.
Some more updates on the Edgio situation -
- I was wrong about Akamai, they're currently running
- Edgio network is 300 PoPs, 150tbps of capability, 2000 subnets
- Akamai say the Edgio CDN service is due to terminate January 15th, so next Wednesday
- There's shit loads of traffic to Edgio CDN services still
- Azure DevOps blog on impact (where they recommend using connectivity to AzureEdge.net, which the MS .net team say is going away and is migrating away from) (

Probably the biggest surprise of the Edgio situation right now is Microsoft. e.g. there's still lots of Microsoft 365 services operating on Edgio CDN today, looking through proxy logs. I hope Microsoft is on top of this.
Also Symantec LiveUpdate is still on Edgecast CDN aka Edgio as of now.
I'm making a list of all the sites on Edgio which are about to break next week due to their bankruptcy, and there's so many it's difficult to know where to start, but Arsenal is pretty funny (Edgecast = Edgio).
Symantec still haven't migrated away from Edgio CDN, which Akamai say is due to terminate in under two days. Lots of other orgs still using it. #edgio
Waves at Symantec 
liveupdate.symantec.com is migrating to Cloudflare 
You might also want to migrate liveupdate.symantecliveupdate.com, which is on Edgio still.
From prosperity here's the other Symantec AV update domain, liveupdate.symantecliveupdate.com, pending migration
There's still several hundred sites I can see sitting on Edgio - be interesting to see if Akamai really do turn off the taps on Wednesday or not, there's some proper Indiana Jones style migrations happening this week.
Quite a lot of the ones who've migrated have gone to Cloudflare, which must be a kick in the teeth for Akamai (having paid for the Edgio contracts).
@GossiTheDog @GossiTheDog Hey if possible can you add alt text to your images? I'm a screen reader user and just get the fact that there is an image with no description. Thanks.
@GossiTheDog Clearly Artetta not in charge of IT. He still hasn’t moved for a striker despite it being abundantly clear that he needs one. Now he he’ll have to overspend in the January window.
@GossiTheDog maybe they should have forked out the extra for the domain name? Who knows how cloud execs think - definitely not the joined - up way
@GossiTheDog Better start work on the "due to an advanced state actor APT AI-infused cryptocyberattack, the following services are unavailable" press release.
@GossiTheDog When I worked at EdgeCast a few years ago, a lot of our biggest customers were multi-CDN, so even if 100% of traffic is still going to Edgio, fallover should be trivial. They may just be hoping for no bill for this month ever showing up if they maximize traffic on the doomed company while it's still up.
Then yeah, 1000 smaller sites will probably be down for days because the guy who set up CDN no longer works there.

@wyldtom @GossiTheDog Last edited on Jan 7th. That article has been there for longer.
@wyldtom @GossiTheDog (I last read it on Dec 10th, so at least that long ago)
@halligan @GossiTheDog ayy, that makes sense! It’s a bit unfortunate that there’s no “created at” information
