Deep dives
Microsoft's Domain Mismanagement
Microsoft's recent experience with the bankruptcy of Edge.io highlights a significant oversight in domain management. The incident forced developers relying on the azureedge.net domain to suddenly switch to new URLs for their applications, causing a major disruption. This situation arose because Microsoft chose not to retain ownership of the domain, allowing a third-party CDN to manage its registration and control. The ramifications of this oversight ripple across the .NET development community, impacting hundreds of thousands of developers and potentially millions of end-users.
