Summary:
Microsoft products are transitioning to the cloud.microsoft domain by October 2024. Services are already available on the new domain, with previous domains redirecting soon. This change should not impact users following Microsoft's network guidance since April 2023. Users and admins need to recognize and prepare for the new domain.
Details:
The cloud.microsoft domain was provisioned in early 2023 to provide a unified, trusted, and dedicated DNS domain space to host Microsoft's first party authenticated SaaS products and experiences. This post is to inform admins that the following Microsoft products and scenarios are now available at the cloud.microsoft domain, in parallel with the previous domains.
Microsoft 365 (https://m365.cloud.microsoft)
A full list of product experiences already being delivered on this domain can be found here: Unified cloud.microsoft domain for Microsoft 365 apps - Microsoft 365 Enterprise | Microsoft Learn.
[When this will happen:]
The services above are already available on cloud.microsoft, in parallel to their previous domains. You can expect the previous domains to be redirected to cloud.microsoft in the coming months.
