Load Balancing with Weighted Pools

Cloudflare has introduced a new feature, Weighted Pools, for its Load Balancer service. This extension of the standard random steering policy allows users to specify what percentage of requests should be sent to each respective origin pool. The feature can be used to balance unequally sized origin pools, perform data center kill switches during troubleshooting or maintenance, and conduct network A/B testing for new data centers or server upgrades. Weighted Pools are available for all Cloudflare Load Balancer customers.
