As he reported channel 24Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Microsoft and Netflix announced the halt of their business in the country and began the process of exiting the Russian market. Disabling CDN servers is another proof of support for the previously mentioned location.

How do CDN servers affect the operation of services?

CDN is a network infrastructure that caches content physically closer to end users. This makes it possible to speed up the loading of the content of services whose original servers are located far away.

Without them, companies’ services will still be available, but their absence can result in slower access speeds as traffic will now pass through global CDN providers.

The managing director of Moscow traffic exchange MSK-IX told Russian broadcaster RBC that Microsoft and Netflix are not the only companies in Russia to shut down their own CDN servers. We will remind you that every month of the full-scale war in Ukraine, more and more companies decide to leave the market of the aggressive country.

Meanwhile, the war on the digital front continues and the Ukrainian IT Army is inflicting serious blows on the enemy. Thus, Ukrainian IT warriors hacked the “Wagner” PMC site and leaked the mercenaries’ data into the network.
