Guides

In-depth technical guides and reference architectures for NetActuate services. These guides cover networking concepts, design patterns, and best practices that apply across multiple products.

  • ECMP Load Balancing — how equal-cost multipath routing distributes traffic across multiple servers at a single location
  • Redundant Anycast Groups — designing primary, secondary, and tertiary anycast architectures for DNS and other services
  • Mixed Provider Anycast — best practices for announcing the same prefix from NetActuate alongside other network providers
  • Bring Your Own IP — using your own IP address space on the NetActuate network
  • DDoS Best Practices — layered DDoS mitigation model and Anycast group design for attack resilience
  • Redundancy Layers — understanding the multiple layers of redundancy built into the NetActuate infrastructure stack
  • VM Scaling — vertical scaling (resize CPU/RAM) and horizontal autoscaling (auto-provision VMs with BGP/ECMP)
  • VPU Encoding with NETINT Quadra — deploy a VM with a NETINT Quadra VPU and run hardware-accelerated video encoding with FFmpeg
  • Kubernetes Anycast with BGP Controller — deploy globally distributed anycast services on Kubernetes using the NetActuate BGP Controller with MetalLB, Calico, or Cilium
  • CI/CD Integration — patterns for deploying to NetActuate infrastructure from GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and other pipeline tools
