As reported by Microsoft at 00:05 UTC on 30 October 2025 – AFD impact confirmed mitigated for customers.
Oct 30, 00:15 CDT
Update -
At this stage, we anticipate full mitigation within the next four hours as we continue to recover nodes. This means we expect recovery to happen by 18:20 CST on 29 October 2025. We will provide another update on our progress within two hours, or sooner if warranted.
Although we are seeing signs of recovery and have an estimated timeline, customers may also consider implementing existing failover strategies using Azure Traffic Manager to redirect traffic from Azure Front Door to their origin servers as an interim measure.

Update -
We have initiated the deployment of our last known good configuration. This deployment was initially expected to complete within 45 minutes; however, due to protective blocks we have put in place to safeguard the AFD service, we are encountering some delays. While progress is ongoing, these safeguards are extending the overall deployment time. Once the rollout is complete, we will begin recovering nodes and re-routing traffic through healthy nodes to accelerate recovery.
Adobe customers globally may be experiencing disruption when attempting to access Adobe cloud services due to an issue with our third-party cloud infrastructure provider impacting connectivity and availability. Our provider is implementing recovery measures, and the Adobe engineering teams are taking additional actions to mitigate potential downstream effects. We are actively investigating and monitoring this issue and will provide updates as soon as they become available.

Admins are reporting issues when attempting to access some Microsoft Entra, Microsoft Purview, Microsoft Defender, Microsoft Power Apps and Microsoft Intune functions. Users are also seeing issues with add-ins and network connectivity in Outlook.
Current status: We've identified a recent configuration change to a portion of Azure infrastructure which we believe is causing the impact. We're pursuing multiple remediation strategies, including moving traffic away from the impacted infrastructure and blocking the offending change. We'll provide an estimated recovery time as soon as possible.
