Why the models rank NS1 — on best managed dns platforms for multi-cloud infrastructure
“Purpose-built for exactly this use case — its traffic steering (Filter Chain), real-time telemetry-driven routing, and Pulsar RUM steering are the most sophisticated in the category, and its Terraform provider and API-first design fit multi-cloud IaC workflows cleanly; the IBM acquisition added enterprise stability without gutting the product. Assumption: the typical practitioner here runs production traffic across two-plus clouds and needs intelligent failover/steering, not just record hosting.”
