CF-Incidents Load Balancing - New Account-Level Load Balancing UI and Private Load Balancers

[ENF News Bot]

We've made two large changes to load balancing:

• Redesigned the user interface, now centralized at the account level.
• Introduced Private Load Balancers to the UI, enabling you to manage traffic for all of your external and internal applications in a single spot.

This update streamlines how you manage load balancers across multiple zones and extends robust traffic management to your private network infrastructure.

Key Enhancements:

• 
  Account-Level UI Consolidation:
  
  • 
    Unified Management: Say goodbye to navigating individual zones for load balancing tasks. You can now view, configure, and monitor all your load balancers across every zone in your account from a single, intuitive interface at the account level.
    
    
  • 
    Improved Efficiency: This centralized approach provides a more streamlined workflow, making it faster and easier to manage both your public-facing and internal traffic distribution.
    
• 
  Private Network Load Balancing:
  
  • 
    Secure Internal Application Access: Create Private Load Balancers to distribute traffic to applications hosted within your private network, ensuring they are not exposed to the public Internet.
    
    
  • 
    WARP & Magic WAN Integration: Effortlessly direct internal traffic from users connected via Cloudflare WARP or through your Magic WAN infrastructure to the appropriate internal endpoint pools.
    
    
  • 
    Enhanced Security for Internal Resources: Combine reliable Load Balancing with Zero Trust access controls to ensure your internal services are both performant and only accessible by verified users.
