What this post added

This post introduces Geo Key Manager, a new feature that allows customers to control the geographic distribution of their SSL private keys. This addresses geopolitical concerns and regulatory requirements by enabling customers to restrict key access to specific regions (e.g., U.S. Only, E.U. Only) or to Cloudflare's highest security data centers. The post also details the security requirements for these data centers and explains the performance implications of using Keyless SSL when keys are not locally accessible, highlighting the use of session resumption to mitigate latency for subsequent requests.
