Summary

GitLab.com is transitioning its content delivery network (CDN) provider to Cloudflare to enhance security, availability, and performance, replacing the current provider, Fastly. The switch is scheduled for the weekend of March 28, 2020, after being postponed from an earlier date. This change targets GitLab.com users, excluding those with self-managed GitLab instances, and will involve routing all traffic through Cloudflare, necessitating updates to firewall configurations for users with whitelisted sites. The transition will allow GitLab.com to leverage Cloudflare's suite of tools, including a Web Application Firewall (WAF), Spectrum, and Argo, to improve service reliability and speed. Users are advised to monitor GitLab's blog and status updates for further information on the transition's timeline and any required actions.
