Take a look here to see why the Cloudflare datacenter you are routed towards isn't always the closest geographically: https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/learning/cdn/glossary/anycast-network/

Anycast network means that my own ISP would be deciding the PoP on which the request would go, is that correct?

Okay. Can you help me figure if switching to Cloudflare CDN is a good choice given that the content served to my users would be small TS video file chunks ranging from 200KB to 2MB (stored on R2) and majority of my users are from Pakistan, and then from India/UAE. Cloudflare does show that 3 PoPs in Pakistan but often my requests have been routed to far away PoPs instead of the one in my city. I want to understand why it does this, is it about the plan I have opted or does it depend on something else.

Yes it would be good to switch as it works globally and if you use R2 it is signifcantly cheaper than other services and faster

and if you read the link above it'll show you why requests get routed elsewhere

No, it changes based on load and maintenance status

1. All PoPs are available to all plans (other than china) however free plans are the first to be routed elsewhere if a specific PoP is getting close to capacity. The higher plan level you have the less likely your traffic will be routed elsewhere due to capacity requirements. So the pro plan can help yes.
2. Content on R2 is not replicated across regions. It is currently single region. I know there have been talks about how multi-region will work before but not sure if we are close to that happening yet or not.

Does R2 A Class Operaction has ratelimits?
We are planning to move our objects (500+) on scheduled time via API

R2 does not have any rate limits but when you reach upwards of 10k rps on a single bucket there may be some scaling issues

Wait what’s the issue here? You just see this red error bar when you create a bucket in the EU jurisdiction? Does something specific trigger it?

Is there any sort of guidance or accepted best practices about how best to set up backups of your R2 data?

grazer

G

grazer•11/11/23, 9:11 PM

or does anyone have tips or guidance about how they go about it?

grazer

G

grazer•11/11/23, 9:12 PM

my concern is not that R2 will fail, but from data loss due to a security breach, rogue processes, programming errors, etc

grazer

G

grazer•11/11/23, 9:16 PM

thanks, that's a possible approach - it would be nice to have nightly backups though

grazer

G

grazer•11/11/23, 9:16 PM

I was hoping there might be some sort of "AWS Backup"-like mechanism that could find the update times on your buckets or something

grazer

grazer•11/11/23, 9:16 PM

and then just sync the changed objects or something

So i created a r2 bucket and selected the "Specify jurisdiction" field and it is now throwing me this error every time going into the bucket on the dash.
