CDN Updated Despite Block On Updates

Question

CDN Updated Despite Block On Updates

Wesley Trantham 0

My CDN somehow updated files this morning and broke the website. We noticed Nov 3 around 8 AM Central.

I released changes to the blob storage the night before, which is when I saw all the messages that we cannot purge the CDN. After testing the content looked the same as it had and I left it at that.

I repushed the correct files to the blob storage in hopes it gets picked up, which so far it has not.

Is this expected? Are files updating even with the block that is in place?

Hi Wesley Trantham,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your query here!

As per the latest update on the outage incident, all service management operations - including create, update, delete, and purge actions for Azure Front Door (AFD) and Azure CDN profiles are temporarily blocked to prevent further impact.

“Customer configuration changes to AFD remain temporarily blocked. We will notify customers once this block has been lifted. While error rates and latency are back to pre-incident levels, a small number of customers may still be experiencing issues, and we are actively working to mitigate this long tail. Updates will be provided directly via Azure Service Health.”

You can refer to the official status page here: https://azure.status.microsoft/status/history/

Customers will receive updates via email or Azure Service Health notifications. In parallel, we’re monitoring the situation internally and will share any progress as soon as it’s available.

Thanks,

Harish.

Hi Wesley Trantham,

Good day, i hope you are doing well!

Quick update — Azure has lifted the temporary block on configuration operations. All create, update, delete, WAF, and cache purge actions for Azure Front Door and Azure CDN profiles are now enabled again.

If the profile still appears locked or pending migration, please retry the operation. It may take up to 45 minutes for configuration and propagation to complete for added safety, as noted in the Azure Front Door FAQ.

Once propagation finishes, you should be able to proceed with migration finalization or further updates. If the issue persists beyond that window, please do let us know.

i hope you should be able to perform all the actions.
