Seven Guidelines for Implementing Zero Trust in Kubernetes
More and more organizations, including the U.S. government, are recognizing the need for Zero Trust security. ZT is particularly important for distributed environments like Kubernetes. Follow our seven practical guidelines to implement ZT more easily and effectively.
Lessons from the 2021 NGINX Survey: Your Kubernetes Adoption Journey
Our 2021 survey of the NGINX community reveals that two-thirds of you are using Kubernetes in production or planning to deploy within a year. But you're also concerned about your level of knowledge and the complexity, security, and scalability of Kubernetes itself.
Microservices March 2022: Kubernetes Networking
Great ready for Microservices March 2022! This year we focus on Kubernetes networking, a key component of production-grade Kubernetes that is often not well understood. Preview what you'll learn during the four-week series and register for access to the labs.
Performance Testing NGINX Ingress Controller and Red Hat OpenShift Router
We performance test NGINX Ingress Controller and the default Red Hat OpenShift Router in an OpenShift Cloud Platform cluster while scaling the number of backends up and down. The Router experiences significant latency and errors, but NGINX Ingress Controller almost none.
