Cloudflare's CNAME flattening (also known as ANAME or ALIAS records) allows you to use a CNAME record for your root domain without the restrictions mentioned earlier. Cloudflare internally resolves the CNAME to an A record and manages the IP address, providing seamless integration and performance benefits.
