Endigest AI Core Summary
Cloudflare introduces Custom Regions for Regional Services, allowing customers to define their own geographical boundaries for traffic processing and data compliance.
•Regional Services applies L3/L4 DDoS mitigation globally at ingress, but TLS termination and Layer 7 processing (WAF, Bot Management, Workers) occur only within the customer-defined region
•Four new managed regions added: Turkey, UAE, IRAP (Australian compliance), and ISMAP (Japanese compliance), bringing the total to 35 pre-defined regions
•Custom Regions define membership via expressions using ISO country codes, supporting single country, multi-country, and exclusion-based configurations
•In-region routing is optimized using performance-ranked lists built from latency, reliability, capacity, and health signals, distributed via Cloudflare's Quicksilver system
•Fail-close design ensures connections fail rather than being processed outside the defined region if no valid in-region destination is available
