Amsterdam to Zhuzhou: Cloudflare network expands to 100 cities

@jgrahamc

I'm curious to know a bit about what the human, biz and tech process is like when Cloudflare opens a new DC and traffic from local ISPs slowly is beginning to be routed towards it. Very much like what I'm currently observing here close to HEL (I'm stalking my /cdn-cgi/trace every morning).

Myself and most somewhat technical people I know don't seem to be all that familiar with how peering, BGP and all that works. My mental image is that companies set up play dates and pull some cable between big switches at some IX and then magic happens.

So, I guess this is as much a question as a suggestion for an interesting blog topic, or something.

cheers!
