Eliminating hardware with Load Balancing and Cloudflare One

This post introduces the integration of Cloudflare Load Balancing with Cloudflare One, Magic WAN, and WARP to support end-to-end private traffic flows and WARP authenticated device traffic. This allows for load balancing to private networks via private IP addresses, eliminating the need for dedicated hardware load balancers. It details how Magic WAN and WARP act as on-ramps to these private load balancers, enabling secure and private connectivity to internal applications. The technical contribution lies in the integration of load balancing services with private networking services, assigning private IP addresses within a customer's virtual network, and enabling traffic off-ramping to various secure traffic off-ramps.
