What happened
Cloudflare Internal DNS is now generally available, bringing authoritative and recursive DNS for private networks onto Cloudflare's global infrastructure and control plane. It unifies internal DNS with Cloudflare's existing Zero Trust, networking, and public DNS offerings. This gives teams a managed alternative to running their own internal DNS servers.
Why it matters
For Malaysian startups and engineering teams, this removes the operational burden of self-hosting internal DNS while keeping it integrated with Zero Trust access policies. Teams already on Cloudflare can consolidate private and public DNS management into one control plane, which is especially useful for distributed or remote-first setups common in Southeast Asia.
Discussion angle
Compare Cloudflare Internal DNS against self-hosted options like CoreDNS or BIND, and discuss whether consolidating DNS onto a single vendor makes sense for small teams versus the lock-in tradeoff.
