Deprecations
CIDR IP address range for cloud media services change
The November 4, 2020 Release Notes announced that Genesys purchased a /20 CIDR block of IP addresses for Genesys Cloud public-facing media services. The announcement stated that customers using the Amazon AWS IP address JSON file should configure their firewalls to allow access to the new CIDR IP addresses as soon as possible, to ensure that their organization is ready for an early 2021 cutover. The cutover date is now March 24, 2021. Updated information, including a set of testing procedures, is now available to help customers meet the cutover date. For more information, see CIDR IP address range for cloud media services change.
