NS1 has announced an integration with Designate, a multi-tenant DNS-as-a-Service (DNSaaS) for OpenStack. Now, users can deploy, configure, and orchestrate NS1’s Managed DNS and Enterprise DDI services from the OpenStack platform for more reliable, performant, and secure application delivery.

With its OpenStack Designate integration, NS1 claims to be the first company to bring the power of application traffic intelligence and automation to open source private clouds, substantially improving application delivery and connectivity. NS1’s software-defined solutions integrate into OpenStack workflows, enabling users to orchestrate application traffic and cloud workloads for increased control over performance, reliability, and security.

Designate enables companies building private clouds in OpenStack to manage DNS records, names, and zones as well as configure existing DNS nameservers to contain those records. NS1’s integration provides access to more robust cloud-native network services.

By integrating with NS1, OpenStack users have highly performant, scalable, and resilient application delivery across their distributed private cloud environments.
