This is great news. Cloudflare is way too expensive. Pricing seems reasonable

Policy Charge $5 per Cloud Armor policy per month Per Rule Charge $1 per rule per policy per month Incoming Requests Charge $0.75 per million HTTP(S) requests

Gotta add load balancing charges to this as well, but still ends up cheaper than CF in some cases.

Interesting - given Cloudflare's real value proposition and domination of their sector, I've been half expecting Google to buy them for a year now.

Google are very good at internet plumbing, and I expect this to be a pretty compelling service. Serious competition and not being an acquisition target any more must have really hurt Cloudflare's value today.

I don't see any caching/cloud-egress-charge-avoidance here. This is only targeting a small part of Cloudflare's value proposition.

No caching provided either. Full on egress charges. Surely that makes the comparison apples/oranges.
