Microsoft has announced that it will be consolidating its numerous 365-branded products into a single domain at cloud.microsoft. The move will simplify the current hundreds of URLs and inconsistencies across the service offerings. The updated domain will offer a consistent URL structure, with products available at [productname].cloud.microsoft and status pages offered at status.cloud.microsoft. This shift will mean that administrators will only need to allow-list a single domain, promoting better security across SaaS experiences. The shift is expected to begin with new services and will be rolled out for existing services with a 30-day notice.
