Add-On Playbooks

NetActuate provides service-layer playbooks that deploy applications on top of existing anycast worker nodes. All add-on playbooks expect nodes already provisioned and configured by a BGP base playbook.

Deployment Order​

The base layer must be deployed first, then service layers added on top:

netactuate-ansible-bgp-bird2  (or bgp-frr)   <- base layer
  └── netactuate-ansible-nginx                <- web server
        └── netactuate-ansible-varnish        <- caching (optional)

Or for DNS:

netactuate-ansible-bgp-bird2  (or bgp-frr)   <- base layer
  └── netactuate-ansible-pdns                 <- authoritative DNS
