How? Cloudflare doesn't host (and makes a big deal of that point); the actual app backends need to be hosted somewhere. They partner with Google (connectivity between CF and GCP), which is in the same business as AWS. A more likely reason is AWS's own anti-DDoS offering, AWS Shield.

- tyingq 9y agoIt applies mostly to AWS because of their respective marketshare in that space. Even more so specifically considering the S3 service.
