Account-Level Load Balancing UI and Private Load Balancers

Cloudflare redesigned load balancing with a new account-level UI for centralized management across all zones, and introduced Private Load Balancers to manage internal application traffic via WARP and Magic WAN with Zero Trust security integration.

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.

Load Balancing UI

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.
