Cloudflare’s Gen 12 server is the most powerful and power efficient server that we have deployed to date. Through sensitivity analysis, we found that Cloudflare workloads continue to scale with higher core count and higher CPU frequency, as well as achieving a significant boost in performance with larger L3 cache per core.

Great thermal solutions play a crucial role in hardware reliability and performance. Gen 12 servers have implemented an exhaustive thermal analysis to ensure optimal operations within a wide variety of temperature conditions and use cases. By implementing new design and control features for improved power efficiency on the compute nodes we also enabled the support of powerful accelerators to serve our customers.

Cloudflare is thrilled to announce the general deployment of our next generation of server — Gen 12 powered by AMD Genoa-X processors. This new generation of server focuses on delivering exceptional performance across all Cloudflare services, enhanced support for AI/ML workloads, significant strides in power efficiency, and improved security features.

Cloudflare is adding support for end-to-end private traffic flows to our local traffic management (LTM) load balancing solution, and allowing for the replacement of hardware load balancers

Growing pains were inevitable given the sheer pace of Cloudflare’s growth. Processes around server provisioning, maintenance windows, repairs, and diagnostics reporting were reaching their limits

To help our team continue to innovate efficiently, our MLOps effort has collaborated with Cloudflare’s data scientists to implement the following best practices

Cloudflare Gen 12 Compute servers are moving to 2U1N form factor to optimize the thermal design to accommodate both high-power CPUs (>350W) and GPUs effectively while maintaining performance and reliability

The DC-SCM (Datacenter-ready Secure Control Module) decouples server management from the server motherboard. It provides flexibility to implement multiple server management and security solutions with the same server motherboard design

The Google Information Security Team revealed a new flaw in AMD's Zen 2 processors in a blog post today. The 'Zenbleed' flaw affects the entire Zen 2 product stack, from AMD's EPYC data center processors to the Ryzen 3000 CPUs, and can be exploited to steal sensitive data processed in the CPU,
