Important: Switching CDN providers
Jan 5, 2025Clayton Kanyika

Summary
This post announces an urgent transition of Azure DevOps's CDN provider from Edgio to Akamai and Azure Front Door due to Edgio's retirement. It provides PowerShell commands to validate firewall settings and recommends adding specific domain URLs (*.vsassets.io, download.agent.dev.azure.com) to allow lists instead of individual IP addresses to ensure uninterrupted access. This is a critical operational change impacting network connectivity for users with strict firewall configurations.
