Load Balancing now supports regional health

View as MarkdownAgent setup

Cloudflare Load Balancing now supports regional health. Each Cloudflare region can make an independent health decision for a pool. When pool reachability differs by region, traffic can avoid an unreachable pool without removing it from service elsewhere.

Configure regional health with the health_sources field on a pool. Set it to ["regional", "global"] to prefer regional health and use global health when no regional decision is available. Pools without health_sources retain their existing health behavior.

Regional health is useful for multi-region deployments and failures that affect specific network paths.

For more information, refer to Regional health.
