> Would love to know more about how Cloudflare plans to prevent abuse of ephemeral infrastructure to host malicious content
If it helps laugh DDoS attacks they would be incentivized to do the exact opposite. They can charge more for “protection” then.
DDoS is one thing you wouldn't be launching from Cloudflare, but if they can get enough types of other bot traffic (whether malicious or "legitimate" or just general grey zone) to use them as the starting point, it improves their error rates when dealing with bot traffic that didn't migrate.
