Question

Did the outage on front door, affect domain validation?

Emil Paaske Kvandal 20

What does the temporary block, include? Does it also include validation of new domains / existing domains where certificates has expired?

We currently have some customers, that cannot access their sites with HTTPS because front door wont issue a new certificate for that domain, because its validation state is not approved (they are just pending).

Hello Emil Paaske Kvandal

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.

Hope the above answer helps! Please let us know do you have any further queries.

Hi Emil Paaske Kvandal

Your Azure Front Door should be working now. Below is latest update:

Latest Update: As of 23:00 UTC on 5 November, 2025 restrictions on Azure Front Door (AFD) and Content Delivery Network (CDN) service management operations have been removed. You may now resume normal operations on the AFD service management plane. For enhanced safety and protection, we have extended the configuration propagation times up to 45 minutes. Additional platform enhancements which are underway are expected to optimize the propagation times further. Previous Context: Azure Front Door (AFD) and Content Delivery Network (CDN) delivery data planes were fully mitigated by 00:05 UTC on 30 October 2025 and remain at normal operating levels. We previously notified you that, as part of completing our full investigation and safe checks, performing service management operations (create, update, delete, purge, etc.) were temporarily restricted. This notification is to confirm that those temporary restrictions no longer apply. Next Steps: As mentioned in our Preliminary PIR we are completing an internal retrospective to understand the incident in more detail. Once this is completed, which is expected within approximately 7 days, we will publish our final Post Incident Review (PIR) - including a link to register for an Azure Incident Retrospective livestream, discussing the incident and our learnings.
