We are getting this message when trying to update our AFD WAF, and when doing API calls to update AFD routing:
"The Microsoft.Network/frontdoorWebApplicationFirewallPolicies resource is unavailable, please try again later. Status Message: All Changes to Azure Frondoor Configuration are blocked currently."
When will this be resolved?

@Anonymous This is not acceptable.
The Azure FD DNS went down nearly 2 days ago and you're still not lifting the block? There is a lot of business impact and for our business I can't get anything done.
WHAT IS THE ETA? It is tiring to hear you all say the same thing on your posts without actually providing any valuable responses.

Front Door changes are still blocked, which is unacceptable after 5 days. Do you have any news?

I'm also getting quite a lot of heat for the lack of progress on our migration to Azure, which is at a standstill due to this outage. Please provide an update! Thank you.

Hi @Anonymous , is there any ETA yet for AFD config changes being back online? All of us who are in the middle of projects are sitting on our hands telling customers "Azure is offline and we have no idea when it'll be back". Are we talking days longer? Or weeks? Months? Any kind of ETA would help us communicate expectations to our customers.

Hello @Russell Embling,
The temporary Service Management restrictions on Azure Front Door have been lifted on 5th November, and customers can now resume their configuration changes.
The Azure portal also reflects this update as a banner:
The backend team is actively monitoring the platform. And in case of any issues, we will reach out to the backend team for further assistance.

It is 11/5/25 and the block is still in place. Please can you provide an update?
Here is the 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.
