Tell HN: Potential example.com outage on January 15, 2025
Edgio went bankrupt and the CDN will be shutdown on January 15 [0].
As of January 14, the example domains still resolve to 93.184.215.14 which is an EdgeCast IPv4 address [1][2].
I'm not sure who in IANA or IETF manages these domains [3].
If you have scripts, tests, or infrastructure that reference these domains, you might get errors or outages if these domains are not updated by January 15.
Disclosure: I previously worked at EdgeCast and remembered that we were serving these domains.
