Load Balancing - Load Balancing now supports pool sets

Cloudflare Load Balancing now supports pool sets through the API. Pool sets combine geographic matching with location-specific traffic steering.

Sooner or later an AI tool will take something back. A feature you used gets retired on a deadline, a plan you were on gets restructured, or you simply decide to leave — and you go looking for the export button so you can carry your history, your chats, the reports and images the thing made for you, somewhere else. Often, there isn’t one. And when you reach for the law instead, you find something stranger than a flat “no”: a right that half-fits, written for a world before chatbots. Answer first
