What on earth does `sliver` in `cdn-cgi/trace` means?
For example, if one does a
curl https://cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/trace, most fields are pretty self-explanatory. However, I could not find any references to the sliver field means apart from some Cloudflare Forums posts that doesn't exactly explain it either. Just curious how it can sometimes be none and after you refresh it can become something like 010-hkg085 Replies
Also some posts refers it to indicating whether a request was "spilt" of not. Honestly this give me even more questions. How could a single request be split? Yes it probably has no end-user impact but it's just something that left me curious for answers XD
It's information that's only really useful to us. It refers to a set of machines running the same version of our software. Part of how we do progressive rollouts of software.https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36383530
interesting, am i correct in assuming that
none is the latest software while 005-tier1 is probably something else and 010-hkg08 is some sort of regional deployment?
thanks anyways :Dopposite
none would be stable/not the latest and anything else would be testing, safe to assume
ahh that makes more sense :D TY
