All-in-one package

Deliver, secure, and manage apps, APIs and AI workloads

NGINX One brings together enterprise-grade data plane NGINX Plus, Kubernetes Ingress Controller, Gateway API, F5 WAF for NGINX, and NGINX One console into a single package. Trusted by millions of developers and DevOps teams worldwide, it reduces tool sprawl, simplifies procurement, and standardizes how teams deliver and operate apps, APIs, and AI workloads across environments.

  • Unified solution: Consolidates multiple NGINX capabilities into one offering, bringing traffic management, WAF, and Kubernetes support together in a single package.
  • Simplified procurement: Reduces licensing and procurement complexity, making it easier to purchase, manage, and scale without coordinating multiple tools or contracts.
  • Operational consolidation: Standardizes delivery, security, and management across environments, helping teams reduce fragmentation, improve consistency, and operate at scale.

Built for AI, Kubernetes, and modern apps

NGINX One is designed for cloud-native architectures and AI-driven workloads. It supports Kubernetes Ingress Controller and Gateway API for inference-aware traffic management and secure AI inference. It provides advanced runtime insights through agentic observability and MCP-aware workflows.

  • Inference aware traffic management: Route AI inference traffic based on model, request, and policy to optimize performance, cost, and efficiency.
  • NGINX Gateway API: Leverage Kubernetes-native Gateway API implementation for unified traffic management across applications, APIs, and AI workloads.
  • Secure inferencing: Protect and control model interactions and data flows with built-in security controls, helping ensure safe, compliant, and reliable AI inference across environments.

Centralized control across distributed environments

NGINX One provides a unified console to manage configurations, enforce policies, and monitor system health. Teams gain visibility across instances and environments with structured config groups, enabling consistent operations and faster troubleshooting.

  • Centralized console: Gain a single UI for management, security, and control, giving teams a unified view to configure, monitor, and manage all instances.
  • Configuration at scale: Reduce errors, speed deployments, and simplify operations with structured config groups and repeatable workflows that ensure consistency across distributed environments.
  • Full visibility: Monitor traffic, performance, and system health across all instances in real time, enabling faster troubleshooting and more informed operational decisions.
  • Operational control: Enforce governance across environments with centralized policy management, ensuring configurations and controls are applied consistently at scale.

Integrated security at the traffic layer

NGINX One embeds core security controls directly into the data plane, including authentication, TLS, and policy enforcement. With the addition of F5 WAF for NGINX, teams can extend protection to defend against application-layer threats, all managed and configured through a centralized console.

  • WAF protection: Defend against application-layer attacks with advanced protection enabled by F5 WAF for NGINX.
  • Policy control: Apply consistent security policies across all traffic types.
  • Traffic security: Secure communications with TLS, authentication, and built-in controls at the traffic layer.
