Azure Updates RSS/Atom Feed is not working. Is it dead ? Any Alternative methods ?

Narayan Babu 145

The Azure updates page used to provide RSS Feed. As of Today (2024-06-07), i cannot see RSS Feed button and the RSS link has also stopped working.

Azure Updates Link - https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/

Azure Updates RSS Link - https://azurecomcdn.azureedge.net/en-us/updates/feed

Is there another method to track the Azure Updates as the page says to "Subscribe to notifications to stay informed"? But i cannot see a way to subscribe (or through another method like email).

I was strongly encouraged (pun intended) to use RSS as a way to stay updated about Azure Sphere https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure-sphere/install/get-notifications?view=azure-sphere-integrated

Is RSS really gone? Seems like a bug/oversight/failure.

Outlook no puede descargar el contenido de RSS desde https://azurecomcdn.azureedge.net/es-es/updates/feed/ debido a un problema de conexión con el servidor.'

yeah this has been out since the beginning of June. I've contacted MS support and issued a support request on the topic. Lets see if that helps at all.

This was published yesterday (June 18th): https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-updates/june-2024-azure-updates-undergoing-maintenance/ba-p/4170116

Azure Updates website is undergoing maintenance. During this time, you may notice limited functionality affecting RSS feeds and search features. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

We are committed to bringing you weekly updates for Azure Updates, and will be posting them here, in the Tech Community every Thursday for the near term.

Critical updates and retirements will also be communicated via emails and service health alerts.

This also explains why no entries have shown up on the update list since June 3rd as well (and here I hoped MS had decided Azure was a completed product! :D)

THX @Patrick McClintick . Good find.

Would have been nice if they used their update feed to announce this. Kind of famous last words;

We're going down.

or better yet

We're going down. See us at https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-updates/bg-p/AzureUpdates.

Anyways. Let's see what the future brings with regard to RSS feeds. Especially their filter/search options...

I have been getting all my update from Azure RSS through Power Automation, it works like a charm, hopefully Azure can recognized this as important and fix it soon

To complete Janne message.

For June only 3 updates are displayed.

If I check https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-updates/bg-p/AzureUpdates the following message is displayed : "Access Denied You do not have sufficient privileges for this resource or its parent to perform this action."
