The current content delivery network (CDN) provider Edgio, used by Azure DevOps is retiring. We’re urgently transitioning to a solution served by Akamai and Azure Front Door CDNs to maintain the responsiveness of our services.
What this means for you
For most of you, this transition will be seamless. To ensure that you can continue to access Azure DevOps without any interruptions, use the following Powershell commands to validate that your current firewall settings allow connectivity to the new CDN providers:
- Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://cdn.vsassets.io/content/icons/favicon.ico
- Invoke-WebRequest -Method Head -Uri https://vstsagentpackage.azureedge.net/agent/3.248.0/vsts-agent-win-x64-3.248.0.zip
If your network includes firewalls that could affect access to the new CDNs, we recommend adding the following domain URLs to the allow list and not the individual IP addresses.
https://vstsagentpackage.azureedge.net
For more details, please refer to this guidance.

We appreciate your patience during this transition. For questions or feedback, please comment below.
