Elevate load balancing with Private IPs and Cloudflare Tunnels: a secure path to efficient traffic distribution

What this post added

This post introduces Private Network Load Balancing, enabling load balancing for private IP addresses within data centers by integrating with Cloudflare Tunnels. This allows for the use of intelligent steering policies (e.g., least outstanding requests, hash steering) for internal services, removing the need for physical load balancers and simplifying configuration through the Cloudflare dashboard. It also highlights the security benefits of using Cloudflare Tunnels for establishing secure, outbound-only connections to private origins.
