This is very good. Cloudflare should be fired.

"The four-hour gap between the onset of the attack and the appearance of Cloudflare addresses on Canonical’s repository hostnames is the interval during which the purchasing decision moved. I imagine engineers moving from 'hold the line' against attacks routed through Cloudflare to 'sign the Cloudflare contract'. Roughly the time it took for the cost of continued outage to exceed the deal Cloudflare offered."
