In this blog, we compare three simple, unambiguous performance metrics: HTTP requests per second (RPS), SSL/TLS transactions per second (TPS), and HTTP throughput (Gbps). The bottom line: the NGINX Plus price-performance advantage continues, with cost savings for NGINX over F5 ranging from 78% to 84%.
NGINX has released version 1.3.0 of the NGINX Ingress Controller for Kubernetes. This release features Prometheus support, better Helm charts, mergeable Ingress resources, easier custom template management, health checks, and status reporting. Come to Github and get it.
