Has anyone gotten access to R2 yet? I signed up but haven't heard back myself.
Would love to find out if you can write to any/every region and have things replicate, or if you have to write to a single region. BunnyCDN's edge storage solution looked interesting until I found out it only supported writes to a single region.
Hoping R2 might be my savior here, otherwise will probably have to roll my own active-active minio cluster, which I'm not looking forward to maintaining. Other suggestions welcome!
see https://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-r2-object-storage/
From the Cloudflare blog, it seems R2 would've handled this exact situation - auto-migration of cloud S3-like-storage objects - download from cloud-storage just once and cache in R2 for Cloudflare to serve.
