NGINX Service Mesh is officially production-ready! NGINX Service Mesh is free, optimized for developers, and the lightest, easiest way to implement mTLS and end-to-end encryption in Kubernetes for both ingress-egress and and service-to-service traffic.
We have released updates to NGINX Open Source, NGINX Plus, and NGINX Ingress Controller to fix a vulnerability in DNS resolution (CVE-2021-23017). We consider the vulnerability to be low-severity, but encourage users to upgrade to the latest versions.
NGINX Plus R24 introduces support for encrypted JSON Web Tokens (JWE) and integration with F5 Device ID+. The NGINX JavaScript module reaches an important milestone with support for response filtering and use of HTTP-based authentication services for TCP/UDP connections.
The more ways you leverage the power of NGINX, the more of challenge it can be to track and manage the NGINX Open Source and NGINX Plus instances across your infrastructure. Introducing NGINX Instance Manager, one tool for tracking, configuring, and monitoring NGINX at scale.

How to Use NGINX Service Mesh for Secure Access Control
If services in a Kubernetes environment exchange sensitive data, it's important to control communication among them. With NGINX Service Mesh, it takes less than 10 minutes to set up fine‑grained control. Watch the video demo and check out our step-by-step tutorial.
How to Use NGINX Service Mesh for Traffic Splitting
Traffic splitting is a valuable tool for app development, reducing the risk of outages during app upgrades. With NGINX Service Mesh, it takes less than 10 minutes to implement blue-green and canary deployments. Watch the video demo and check out our step-by-step tutorials.
How to Use NGINX Service Mesh for Rate Limiting
High request volume can overwhelm your Kubernetes services. With NGINX Service Mesh, it takes less than 10 minutes to define a rate-limiting policy that limits each client to a reasonable number of requests. Watch the video demo and follow along in the transcript provided.
Harnessing the Power and Convenience of JavaScript for Each Request with the NGINX JavaScript Module
The NGINX JavaScript module is a bespoke JavaScript implementation for extending NGINX and NGINX Plus functionality. We continually add new features and publish use cases that take advantage of them. The blog includes a complete use case list.
The mTLS Architecture in NGINX Service Mesh
Service-to-service communication among microservices puts more data on the wire compared to monoliths. Using mutual TLS (mTLS) to encrypt and authenticate that communication is crucial. Here we dive deep into the mTLS implementation in NGINX Service Mesh.
NGINX Is the Foundation of Modern App Performance
Our goal at NGINX has always been to provide the foundation our customers and community need to deliver modern apps. Based on Abraham Maslow's famous hierarchy of needs for humans, here we show how NGINX offerings satisfy an app's hierarchy of needs at multiple levels.
Enhanced TCP/UDP Load Balancing and WAF Configuration with NGINX Ingress Controller
NGINX Ingress Controller now offers enhanced TCP/UDP load balancing with support for snippets, health checks, and multiple TransportServer resources. Release 1.11.0 also introduces a WAF policy for easier configuration of NGINX App Protect, Istio compatibility, and more.
How to Improve Resilience in Kubernetes with Advanced Traffic Management
Improve the resilience of Kubernetes apps with the traffic control and splitting methods discussed in this blog – rate limiting, circuit breaking, debug routing, A/B testing, and canary and blue-green deployments – and learn how NGINX products make them easier to implement.
NGINX Steps Up to F5 Agility 2021 with App-Driven Events
F5 Agility 2021 takes the virtual stage on April 20–22 this year, and the NGINX team will be there in full force. Don't miss our sessions and demos on production-grade Kubernetes, real-time API management, and synergies between F5 and NGINX products.
NGINX App Protect Brings Security to the API Ecosystem
A “security as code” approach centered around NGINX App Protect is key to protecting your APIs. Integrate non‑disruptive security controls into your automation and CI/CD processes so that app security is baked in from the outset, not bolted on as an afterthought.
