What’s new – December 2025

The December 2025 release includes:

Cloudflare service

To enhance security, availability, and performance, Skytap is adding Cloudflare on February 1, 2026.

If you have an on-premises firewall or other network architecture that requires configuration to allow access to Skytap IP addresses, we recommend adding the CloudFlare IP address ranges before February 1, 2026, to prevent any disruption of connectivity to Skytap.
