Provide Developers with Self-Service
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
