Last year, we enabled Media over QUIC (MoQ) on every Cloudflare server and opened the network for anyone to test. It provided a global MoQ endpoint, but not the isolation and access controls needed to run an application.Today, we’re adding those isolation and access controls. The new MoQ provisioning API lets you create an isolated relay for your application and issue separate credentials for publishers and subscribers. The relays you create are available across Cloudflare’s network within seconds, with no servers to deploy, size, or load balance.Cloudflare now supports the draft-14 and draft-16 versions of the MoQ Transport protocol with authentication support.You can create relays through the API and the Cloudflare dashboard. They are completely free to use during beta.A QUIC recap on MoQMoQ (originally short for Media over QUIC) is a new open protocol under development at the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the standards body that also standardized HTTP, TLS, and QUIC. It is being developed in the open and will become a free public standard (an RFC) that anyone can implement. No single company owns it.MoQ is a publish/subscribe system. A publisher sends out streams of data that have names, and subscribers ask for those streams by name. Between them sit relays, which are just CDN servers that copy each stream to everyone who wants it. A relay never has to look inside the data it forwards, so one publisher can reach a large audience without handling the fan-out itself.Because relays don't care what's in the data, the same protocol can carry many things that each …
