Bandwidth Alliance: powered by smart routing on Cloudflare’s network

Introduced the Bandwidth Alliance, a collaboration between Cloudflare and other cloud providers to reduce data transfer fees for mutual customers. This alliance is technically underpinned by Cloudflare's Argo traffic routing engine, which is adapted to optimize for cost by leveraging direct peering and low-cost connections with alliance partners. A limited, routing-only version of Argo is provided to alliance partners to ensure traffic is routed to the nearest Cloudflare location, facilitating the use of Private Network Interfaces (PNI) and reducing bandwidth costs.
