Incident Date: March 2, 2025
Summary
On March 3, 2025, at 4:35 AM GMT until March 3, 2025, at 11:12 AM GMT, Autodesk Revit Cloud Worksharing / Cloud Models was unavailable in the US, European Union, and Australia regions.

Impacted Services
- Revit Cloud Worksharing / Cloud Models
- Revit Cloud Worksharing / Cloud Models (European Union)
- Revit Cloud Worksharing / Cloud Models (Australia)
Root Cause
- A planned Active Directory migration culminated in the designed decommissioning of two of Autodesk’s internal Domain Name (DNS) servers.
- Revit Cloud Worksharing / Cloud Models were dependent on this infrastructure and were unable to function correctly once hostname resolution was no longer possible.
Autodesk Actions
Autodesk has completed a post-incident analysis of the event and identified actions to be taken. These include the following:
- Eliminating Revit Cloud Worksharing / Cloud Models dependency on Autodesk’s DNS servers, thereby removing them as a potential point of failure.
- Updating troubleshooting and recovery playbooks to reflect our learnings from this event.
- Implementing process controls and safeguards to reduce the risk of disruption following IT infrastructure changes.
