Cloudflare has launched a self-serve Bring-Your-Own-IP (BYOIP) API, streamlining the process for customers to onboard and manage their IP address space, which was previously cumbersome and time-consuming. This new approach automates the verification of IP prefix ownership and authorization using the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) and Route Origin Authorization (ROA) objects, significantly enhancing security and efficiency compared to the traditional manual review of documents. By allowing modifications through either Internet Routing Registry (IRR) records or reverse DNS, Cloudflare offers a more straightforward and secure method for customers to demonstrate their rights to use a prefix. The self-serve model also mitigates the risk of "blackholing" traffic by requiring a default service binding for every IP prefix. This advancement not only reduces the need for Letters of Authorization (LOAs) but also integrates IP management into existing workflows, enabling organizations to automate network tasks, improve security, and optimize their network infrastructures.
