You also get your ssl sessions backed up on global webcaches as an added feature.

To do this you'd create a 'Page Rule' that specifically tells Cloudflare to 'cache everything' for a URL pattern like https://examplesite.tld/* .

You can set a cache invalidation time too.

Always online is a slightly different feature I believe.

Slightly related, FYI all of the package downloads for Gitlab are timing out with a 504 error from Cloudfront ("Cloudfront is having difficulty accessing S3". The registry is also showing an error.

I'm trying to downgrade to an older version because our install is not working but can't get the DEB unfortunately.

GitLab really needs to provide a way to force HTTPS for domains that have it set up. I have to manually link with `https://` everywhere.

As I've said previously: I love the Backblaze folks, but B2 is apparently hosted in a single building. So that's not a question of if, but when.

Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud.

Yes, we can. You can host static content in GCS in the same way that you would using S3, or you can Google Cloud Load Balancer to do more complex setups, such as mixing static GCS content and compute URLs on the same domain.

And Swift.

Interesting that they still host the cloudron.io site on Amazon platform

Netlify's status page and pre-rendering service are down due to the S3 outage.

I use both RS Cloud Files and Google's Cloud Storage. Google's is superior in nearly every way.

The only con is that it is a Google product that could be deprecated at any point in time. But, with all the acquisition stuff happening over at RS, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried about them killing of their cloud offering.
