Cloudflare has announced that its Load Balancing service now supports private IP addresses. This integration enables organizations to deploy load balancers while keeping their applications securely shielded from the public Internet, using Cloudflare Tunnels and private IP support. The new feature is designed to simplify the process of managing web traffic across multiple data centers or servers by consolidating network architecture into a single lens for both Global Traffic Management (GTM) and Local Traffic Manager (LTM). This innovative solution provides enhanced security, privacy, and performance, while reducing complexity, lowering operational overhead, and facilitating efficient resource allocation. Cloudflare's commitment to providing cutting-edge tools that prioritize security, privacy, and performance underscores the company's dedication to empowering businesses with the tools they need to succeed in today's digital landscape.
