Containers custom instance types no longer have disk to memory ratio limit
Custom container instance types can now allocate up to 20 GB of disk independent of memory, removing the previous 2:1 disk-to-memory ratio limit. This enables workloads requiring large container images, datasets, or build caches to run without disk constraints.
Containers custom instance types no longer limit disk based on memory. Previously, a custom instance type could have a maximum of 2 GB of disk for each 1 GiB of memory. You can now allocate up to the 20 GB disk maximum to any custom instance type.
Use this to run workloads that need more disk than memory, such as workloads with large container images, datasets, or build caches. The maximum image size is the same as the instance disk space, so more disk also lets you deploy larger images.
For example, a custom instance type with 1 vCPU and 3 GiB of memory was previously limited to 6 GB of disk. It can now use 20 GB:
{
"containers": [
{
"image": "./Dockerfile",
"instance_type": {
"vcpu": 1,
"memory_mib": 3072,
"disk_mb": 20000,
},
},
],
}[[containers]]
image = "./Dockerfile"
[containers.instance_type]
vcpu = 1
memory_mib = 3_072
disk_mb = 20_000
The other custom instance type constraints do not change, including the minimum of 3 GiB of memory per vCPU. For the full list, refer to Custom Instance Types.

Improved HTTP/3 client cancellation reporting
Cloudflare now properly stops HTTP/3 requests when clients cancel them and reports these consistently as 499 status codes. This reduces unnecessary origin work and provides clearer visibility into client behavior across all plan types.
WAF failed detections field now available in Rules
A new cf.appsec.request.failed_detections field lets you control how rules handle requests when security detections fail. This array of detection IDs covers content scanning, WAF attack scoring, attack signatures, leaked credentials, and AI-based PII/prompt injection/custom topic detection failures, and works across custom rules, rate limiting rules, and request header transform rules.
Markdown for Agents: More efficient in-process streaming conversion
Markdown for Agents now uses an in-process streaming engine at the edge to convert HTML, reducing overhead and memory use. The conversion limit increased from 2 MiB to 6 MiB, and token count headers are no longer generated.
