Changes coming to the azd Content Deliver Network (CDN)

This blog post announces the azd Content Delivery Network (CDN) change in January 2025.

To see if this change impacts you, see this GitHub Issue.

Note: We recommend installing azd using the latest install scripts hosted at https://aka.ms/install-azd.ps1 and https://aka.ms/install-azd.sh to install azd. Customers using this type of install aren’t impacted with this change.

What is changing?

The backend CDN for some azd install scenarios is changing. This change is because the Edgio provider is retiring their CDN service effective January 15, 2025.

Hard coding the CDN hostname isn’t a supported scenario. If your logic depends on the hostname, then future changes to hostnames could result in a breaking change to your application.

Who is impacted by this change?

Your application may be impacted and require updates with this upcoming CDN change if you’re using any of the following in your application:

• Using the azure/setup-azd@1.0.0 GitHub Action (and earlier versions)
• Older downloaded versions of install-azd.ps1 and install-azd.sh scripts (Latest versions available at https://aka.ms/install-azd.ps1 and https://aka.ms/install-azd.sh.)
• Any hardcoded references in your system to the older CDN hostnames. Hardcoding hostnames aren’t supported.

Actions if you’re impacted by this change

• Ensure you’re using the latest GitHub Action (v2) for azure/setup-azd in your workflows.
• Ensure you’re using the latest Azure DevOps task version.
