#2Really interesting article.
Comment though ... I'm surprised Cloudflare isn't concerned about being sued over using the name "Unimog" and having the load balancer icon be a Truck, given that Unimog is an actual company who manufacturers trucks.

That was also my first reaction when I saw their choice of name for this.
Daimler-Benz owns Unimog, I'm sure they have plenty of lawyers hanging around ready to defend their intellectual property.

As long as they're not going to release it it shouldn't be a problem I'd think.

Even the truck in the icon is quite similar to the actual Unimog [1]

#7Good article. But talks far more of how it works and far less about why existing alternatives were not good enough.
