Migrating from Azure Media Service, with same URI's

I've just read the mail about AMS going down on June 30. We have a lot of HLS URIs which are hardcoded into multiple clients and now that we need to migrate to a new service, I'm afraid that the URIs will change and that our clients will become outdated.

Does anyone know if it is possible to keep the old URIs or to redirect/reverse proxy from the old URIs to the new URIs, and how?

I have searched a bit on the Azure forums (and Google), but it doesn't seem that there is a clear answer anywhere.

    @Thor Bilsby , Following-up from private message. summarizing the answer you shared to benefit the community find the right answer. Since the Microsoft Q&A community has a policy that "The question author cannot accept their own answer.

    Thanks for your feedback.

    This is not possible, as we use a standard Azure domain. While the locator will remain, the Azure Media service (AMS) domain will be shut down, and we will therefore need to change the URL anyway.

    Please take a look at this doc - Azure Media Services retirement guide -- guide presents options available for you to migrate to solutions from the Microsoft partner ecosystem or other Azure services.
