Containers - Run 15x more Containers with higher resource limits
Key Points
- Memory increased to 6TiB
- vCPU limit raised to 1,500
- Disk limit expanded to 30TB
Summary
Cloudflare has increased concurrent live Container resource limits by 15x. New aggregate limits: memory 400 GiB → 6 TiB, vCPU 100 → 1,500, and disk 2 TB → 30 TB. This allows much larger-scale deployments and higher concurrency for Container instance types.
Key Points
- Resource limit changes:
- Memory for concurrent live instances: 400 GiB → 6 TiB
- vCPU for concurrent live instances: 100 → 1,500
- Disk for concurrent live instances: 2 TB → 30 TB
- Example concurrent capacities: 15,000 lite, 6,000 basic, >1,500 standard-1, >1,000 standard-2 instances.
- Practical impacts:
- Run larger clusters and denser multi-tenant workloads on Cloudflare Containers.
- Reevaluate autoscaling and instance planning to leverage higher concurrency.
- Expect changes to operational costs and monitoring needs as utilization increases.
- Actionable recommendations:
- Check the Limits documentation and your account-specific quotas.
- Use the Resources API to query and adapt automation to new limits.
- Load-test and monitor performance, resource contention, and billing before full migration.
Notes
- These are global concurrent-live-instance aggregate limits; refer to the documented instance-type limits for per-type details.
