NGINX on AWS

Looking for consistent, high-performance app delivery and web services?

NGINX Plus can operate standalone or integrate with AWS services – such as existing load-balancing solutions, Auto Scaling groups, and AWS Lambda – to reduce your application delivery and management costs. Eliminate tool sprawl and complexity with the only all-in-one solution for load balancing, reverse proxy, API gateway, web server, and content cache.

Use NGINX Plus as a:

• Load balancer – Distribute traffic efficiently across backend servers for reliable, high‑performance application delivery
• Reverse proxy – Pass, modify, and manage requests between clients and backend servers
• API gateway – Handle request routing, authentication, rate limiting, and SSL/TLS offload, and deliver API responses in real time (under 30 milliseconds)
• Web server – Deliver content like the majority of the busiest sites on the Internet, with high performance, low resource demands, and a small memory footprint

Want to use the same WAF across all your environments – from on-prem to cloud to Kubernetes?

NGINX App Protect, our modern app-security solution built on F5’s market‑leading security expertise, can do just that. Our security-as-code design makes it easy to incorporate security into your agile and DevOps workflows. NGINX App Protect easily integrates with NGINX Plus and NGINX Ingress Controller to protect your apps from a range of threats including the OWASP Top 10 and beyond.

Unique capabilities:

• NGINX integration – Strong security controls integrated seamlessly with NGINX Plus and NGINX Ingress Controller
• Cost effective – Predictable pricing so your monthly bill isn’t a surprise
• Fast and lightweight – Outperforms other WAFs for improved user experience

Trying to balance developer agility with a secure infrastructure?

With NGINX Controller, you don’t have to sacrifice control to gain speed. NetOps and SecOps teams can establish guardrails (not gates) by setting up preapproved parameters. Developers can then manage their services and apps running in AWS without impacting other teams, safely giving you the option to share infrastructure resources among teams without outages.

Unique capabilities include:

• App-centricity – Unique application‑centric, rather than infrastructure‑centric, model aligns better with your business processes and workflows
• RBAC – Role-based access control via both the GUI and API enables fine‑grained permissions management across teams
• Infrastructure-agnostic – NGINX Controller can be deployed anywhere and manage your NGINX Plus instances in any cloud
