Behind the scenes, Cloudflare allows a website's domain to be aliased to some other domain, so that a user may see images and content from when those images and that content is actually being served from Backblaze B2 ( ) Backblaze Buckets are on the Internet SecurelyĪlthough all buckets are addressable from the internet, only public buckets can be accessed by just anybody. A website's domain name is registered with Cloudflare (and transferred from its domain name registrar), so that Cloudflare becomes responsible for serving content from that domain. Through caching and private high-speed links, Cloudflare ensures high availability and reliability from storage. How does a CDN like Cloudflare work?Ĭloudflare leverages DNS ( Domain Name System) so that content requests come to Cloudflare's servers. One solution to ensuring performance and availability is to route requests through a CDN ( Content Delivery Network) such as Backblaze's Bandwidth Alliance partner Cloudflare, taking advantage of Cloudflare's performance and the free data transfer between Backblaze B2 and Cloudflare. Many customers have expressed interest in hosting static data for their website (ranging from minified Javascript applications to multi-hour 8K video) because of the security, reliability, and affordability of Backblaze B2 storage.
If you would like to allow Cloudflare to fetch content from a public Backblaze B2 Bucket, see the KB article on using Cloudflare Workers to fetch content from a public B2 Bucket. This article explains how to use Cloudflare Workers to serve data from a private B2 Bucket.
