Overview

Edgio, formerly Limelight Networks, was a content delivery network (CDN) provider offering global content delivery, video streaming, and edge compute services.

The company faced financial difficulties, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September 2024, and ceased operations in January 2025 after its assets were sold to Akamai.

History & Notes

Edgio’s closure was accelerated from an initial November 2025 timeline due to financial distress, catching some users off-guard. Microsoft, a key partner, has emphasized proactive migration to avoid downtime, particularly for Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions users. While Akamai acquired select assets, not all Edgio services were absorbed, leaving some users to seek other providers. No official Edgio website or documentation remains active, but Microsoft’s Azure documentation provides detailed transition steps.
Telia Carrier was a leading provider with over 320 PoPs in 120 cities, known for its extensive fiber network and DDoS mitigation. The rebrand to Arelion reflects its shift to a standalone entity under Polhem Infra, focusing on global connectivity for enterprises and operators. No service discontinuation was reported, but the Telia Carrier brand is fully deprecated.
