What is PDX?

  Cloudflare's Portland datacenter. Most clouds/CDNs name their DC's after the airport code of the city they are in or are close to. Internally they would be listed as PDX, ORD, LAX, etc.

  I assume shorthand for a datacenter in Portland. Labeling data centers by their cities airport code is something I see a lot.

  It's the IATA code for Portland International Airport. Many datacenters use IATA codes for the nearest airport to give a rough approximation of the location. So the PDX datacenter is the one closest to the PDX airport in or around Portland.
