Streamline app and API deployment in NGINX Management Suite with the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) GitHub repository, Packer, and Terraform.
Optimizing MQTT Deployments in Enterprise Environments with NGINX Plus
NGINX Plus now has native support for the MQTT protocol. We discuss how adding MQTT to your configuration can simplify scalability, reduce costs, and more.
Simplify and Accelerate Cloud Migrations with F5 NGINXaaS for Azure
Migrate on-prem workloads to Azure faster and easier with NGINXaaS for Azure, an Azure-native IaaS version of NGINX Plus.
NGINX Plus and Microsoft Azure Load Balancers
To load balance applications in Microsoft Azure, you can choose NGINX Plus, Azure Load Balancer, or Azure Application Gateway. Explore their different sets of supported features, and learn how combining NGINX Plus with the Azure offerings gives you the best of both worlds.
Choosing the Right Load Balancer on Amazon: AWS Application Load Balancer vs. NGINX Plus
We compare AWS Application Load Balancer (ALB) with NGINX Open Source and NGINX Plus as a Layer 7 reverse proxy and load balancer. ALB has more features than at its debut in 2016, but we conclude that NGINX and NGINX Plus still provide more functionality and much more predictable pricing.
NGINX Unit 1.16.0 Introduces New Yet Familiar Features
NGINX Unit 1.16.0 introduces two new features that are already familiar to NGINX users. First, it can load balance across a group of upstream servers using the round-robin method. Second, you can define what happens when a requested file can't be served, similar to the NGINX 'try_files' directive.
NGINX Load Balancing Deployment Scenarios
Learn about some of the common deployment scenarios for NGINX Plus as a reverse proxy load balancer.
NGINX and the “Power of Two Choices” Load-Balancing Algorithm
The Random with Two Choices load-balancing algorithm is NGINX's implementation of the "power of two choices" method. This biased random algorithm has been shown to be effective at balancing loads when each load balancer has an incomplete or delayed view of the traffic.
Architecting Robust Enterprise Application Network Services with NGINX and Diamanti
Our partner Diamanti examines common use cases for load balancing and network services in Kubernetes environments. with NGINX and the Diamanti D10 Bare-Metal Container Platform working together to enhance application delivery, scalability, and high availability.
Not All Software Load Balancers Are Created Equal
Load-balancing software appliances are derived from hardware ADCs, a legacy that limits their usefulness in modern application environments. A true software load balancer integrates into the broadest range of compute infrastructure and breadth of application types.
