Using this comment thread to plug a question: Is there a way to use Cloudflare (or other DNS server providers) in order to dynamically fallback to CDN A (e.g. Cloudfront) in case CDN B (e.g. Netlify CDN) is down?
- jniedrauer 8y agoYou can control DNS failover with custom health checks in AWS Route 53. You can also do latency based routing. I can't speak for Cloudflare, but I imagine they have similar capability.
- mahesh_rm 8y agoThank you. I overall prefer CF over R53, will try to check out if this can be achieved with either workers or page rules.

- edaemon 8y agoI don't think Cloudflare Load Balancing can do this (yet), but Dyn can: https://dyn.com/active-failover/ https://dyn.com/active-failover/ The crucial part is CNAME compatibility. Most DNS services I've had experience with can only do failover between IPs.
- mahesh_rm 8y agoThank you, will try to implement this with Dyn
