Announcing a new self-serve API for Bring Your Own IP (BYOIP), giving customers unprecedented control and flexibility to onboard, manage, and use their own IP prefixes with Cloudflare's services.
IPv4 is expensive, and moving network resources around is hard. Previously, when customers wanted to use multiple Cloudflare services, they had to bring a new address range.
We are closing the cleartext HTTP ports entirely for Cloudflare API traffic. This prevents the risk of clients unintentionally leaking their secret API keys in cleartext during the initial request.
We describe how Cloudflare uses a custom Lisp-like programming language and formal verifier (written in Racket and Rosette) to prevent logical contradictions in our authoritative DNS nameserver’s behavior.
