Cloudflare has announced the launch of VPC Services, a key milestone in their Workers VPC initiative, which allows users to connect to APIs, containers, virtual machines, serverless functions, and databases in regional private networks via Cloudflare Tunnels from Workers globally. This development simplifies cross-cloud application building by enabling Workers to securely access private APIs and databases, overcoming traditional cloud lock-in and security complexities. VPC Services streamline network configuration by using Cloudflare Tunnels to connect Workers with private services, ensuring secure access control and making Workers immune to Server-Side Request Forgery attacks. The initiative aims to enhance flexibility and integration with enterprise networks by expanding protocol support to include TCP services and facilitating bidirectional connections with Cloudflare resources. VPC Services are currently available in open beta, allowing developers to modernize legacy applications and create cross-cloud architectures with greater ease and security.
