Cloudflare

Cloudflare manages zones (domains). Each zone has DNS records, firewall rules, SSL settings. Zone id required for most ops.

Data Model

• Zones — domains. zone_id for all zone-scoped ops.
• DNS records — in zone. Update/delete need record id.
• Firewall rules — WAF. Evaluated in order.
• SSL — full, flexible, etc.
• Cache — purge all or by URL.
• Bot management — Bot Fight Mode.

Gotchas

• zone_id required: Almost all ops need zone_id. List zones first.
• DNS record id: For update/delete, need record id from list.
• Firewall rule order: Rules evaluated in order. Position matters.
