Moving to the cloud and transitioning to containerized deployments are top of mind for many enterprises as they build applications to meet quickly increasing user demands. The cloud offers the flexibility, scalability, reliability, and security that enterprise applications demand. By moving services, and all their dependencies, to containers, developers and engineers win the flexibility and freedom to easily scale and secure their applications.
Over the past few years a number of tools have emerged to make it easier than ever to run applications in the cloud and manage rapidly growing numbers of containers. Kubernetes and NGINX are two of the leading tools used in the cloud, and they are commonly used together to quickly and easily deploy and scale applications.
