Cloudflare (NYSE: NET) has announced two new solutions: Workers VPC and Workers VPC Private Link, designed to enable developers to build secure, global cross-cloud applications. These innovations address the limitations of traditional Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) which often restrict developers with complex networking requirements and substantial egress fees.

The Workers VPC offers a modern approach to VPC, built for network and compute workloads across multiple regions. It creates isolated environments where only resources within a Workers VPC can access each other. The Workers VPC Private Link enables secure connectivity between a Workers VPC and external VPCs in public or private clouds, effectively creating a unified cross-cloud environment.

These new solutions will be available later this year, promising to simplify the development of global applications that need to connect to legacy public clouds and traditional datacenters while maintaining security.
