A healthcare tech company migrated to Kubernetes, reduced downtime, and improved visibility with Azure Kubernetes Service and NGINX.
Do microservices, containers, and Kubernetes make your head spin? Read this article to gain an understanding of these technologies and how they interrelate.
NGINX Management Suite provides holistic visibility and control of NGINX instances, application delivery services, API management workflows, and security solutions.
Unit 4 of Microservices March 2022 covers advanced techniques for keeping your apps and architecture up and running. Here are links to the resources you need: the livestream on March 28, blogs and other prep resources, and the hands-on lab, “Improve Kubernetes Uptime and Resilience with a Canary Deployment”.
Unit 3 of Microservices March 2022 addresses the all-important topic of security in Kubernetes. Here are links to the resources you need: the livestream on March 21, blogs and other prep resources, and the hands-on lab, “Protect Kubernetes Apps from SQL Injection”.
Unit 2 of Microservices March 2022 is all about how to expose your APIs in Kubernetes. Here are links to the resources you need: the livestream taking place on March 14, blogs and other prep resources, and the hands-on lab, “Protect Kubernetes APIs with Rate Limiting”.
Microservices March 2022 is underway! Here are links to all the resources for Unit 1: the livestream taking place on March 7, blogs and other resources that provide more in-depth knowledge, and the self-paced, hands-on lab, “Reduce Kubernetes Latency with Autoscaling”.
Great ready for Microservices March 2022! This year we focus on Kubernetes networking, a key component of production-grade Kubernetes that is often not well understood. Preview what you'll learn during the four-week series and register for access to the labs.
Explore six use cases where Kubernetes traffic‑management tools -- including F5 NGINX App Protect, Ingress Controller, and Service Mesh -- solve security problems. Help your SecOps teams collaborate with DevOps and NetOps to better protect your cloud‑native apps and APIs.
When you need an API gateway in Kubernetes, how do you choose among API gateway vs. Ingress controller vs. service mesh? We guide you through the decision, with sample scenarios for north-south and east-west API traffic, plus use cases where an API gateway is the right tool.
As you evaluate Ingress controllers, you’ll notice they fall into three categories: open source, default, or commercial. Learn the pros and cons for each here.
Learn about risks you might introduce by selecting the wrong Ingress controller, and key areas where you can future-proof your selection.
An Ingress controller can be one of the most powerful tools in your Kubernetes stack. Learn how to determine your ingress requirements so you can select the best option.
It's easier than ever to set up a production-grade Kubernetes deployment in AWS. Purchase the NGINX Plus-based version of NGINX Ingress Controller, with or without NGINX App Protect, directly from AWS Marketplace for Containers.
Improve the resilience of Kubernetes apps with the traffic control and splitting methods discussed in this blog – rate limiting, circuit breaking, debug routing, A/B testing, and canary and blue-green deployments – and learn how NGINX products make them easier to implement.
There are two types of visibility data that provide crucial insights into application and Kubernetes performance. Learn how the monitoring tools built into NGINX Ingress Controller and NGINX Service Mesh help improve visibility as you diagnose real-world problems.
Microservices March is a month-long virtual festival of microservices activities here at NGINX. Whether you’re already using Kubernetes in production or your interest is just blossoming, you’re sure to find sessions to pique your interest. Check out the schedule on our blog!
We explain how production-grade Kubernetes solves the challenges of deploying containerized microservices-based apps, which include culture, complexity, and security. In addition to a Kubernetes infrastructure you need a scalable Ingress controller, WAF, and service mesh.
Automation is essential to delivering modern digital experiences. We've created four video demos showing how to automate deployment of NGINX Plus and NGINX App Protect, NGINX Controller, an NGINX Plus data plane using Controller, and GSLB using F5 DNS Cloud Services.
