Really 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.

Same here, my first thought was "lawsuit in 3... 2... 1..."

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

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