It's easier than ever to set up a production-grade Kubernetes deployment in AWS. Purchase the NGINX Plus-based version of NGINX Ingress Controller, with or without NGINX App Protect, directly from AWS Marketplace for Containers.

We describe the state of our QUIC+HTTP/3 implementation, starting with a review of the work we've done so far. Our roadmap includes merging the nginx-quic development branch into the NGINX mainline and implementing performance optimizations. You can help by testing the implementation.

Mark your calendars for NGINX Sprint 2.0, our virtual user conference taking place August 23–25, 2021. Watch keynotes about our vision for building and scaling modern apps, customer presentations, a series of demos covering a typical modernization journey, and hands-on training sessions.

Layer 7 DoS attacks are a new and increasingly common threat to app performance and security. You need protection that integrates easily into your infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines, learns from observing user and app behavior, and doesn't affect performance even during an attack.

We explain how NGINX App Protect Denial of Service (DoS) adapts its mitigation methods in real time to protect against Layer 7 DoS attacks. By creating a model of normal user behavior and server health, it can spot deviations that signal an attack and apply customized mitigation signatures.

NGINX Instance Manager version 1.0 introduces two new features. Tagging on NGINX instances and user roles enables you to apply configuration to an entire group at once. The certificate scan detects expiring certificates so you can replace them to ensure uninterrupted service.

NGINX Service Mesh Release 1.1.0 introduces three key enhancements that make it easier to deploy and manage our production-ready service mesh in Kubernetes: Helm support, air-gap installation, and in-place upgrades.

A service mesh can make a Kubernetes environment more complicated if it must be configured separately from the Ingress controller. In this demo and blog we show how to integrate NGINX Plus Ingress Controller with NGINX Service Mesh to control both ingress and egress mTLS traffic.

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.

This Pride Month, Scott De Buitléir reflects on life lessons he's learned on his LGBTQ+ rugby team, and reviews some projects undertaken by NGINX and F5 over the past year to benefit our local and global communities.
