Learn about risks you might introduce by selecting the wrong Ingress controller, and key areas where you can future-proof your selection.
A Guide to Choosing an Ingress Controller, Part 1: Identify Your Requirements
An Ingress controller can be one of the most powerful tools in your Kubernetes stack. Learn how to determine your ingress requirements so you can select the best option.
What Are Namespaces and cgroups, and How Do They Work?
Dive deep into two Linux features that underlie containers: namespaces and cgroups. They enable process isolation, ensuring that multiple processes running on a system don't interfere with one another. Our NGINX Unit application server also uses them for application isolation.
Easier Deployment and Upgrade of NGINX Service Mesh
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.
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.
Welcome to Microservices March!
Microservices March is a month-long virtual festival of microservices activities here at NGINX. Whether you’re already using Kubernetes in production or your interest is just blossoming, you’re sure to find sessions to pique your interest. Check out the schedule on our blog!
Reduce Complexity with Production-Grade Kubernetes
We explain how production-grade Kubernetes solves the challenges of deploying containerized microservices-based apps, which include culture, complexity, and security. In addition to a Kubernetes infrastructure you need a scalable Ingress controller, WAF, and service mesh.
Easy and Robust Single Sign-On with OpenID Connect and NGINX Ingress Controller
NGINX Ingress Controller now supports single sign-on with OpenID Connect. Release 1.10.0 also introduces new configuration queue metrics, annotations on log entries, better validation of annotations and secrets, support for NGINX App Protect user-defined signatures, and more.
Deploying Application Services in Kubernetes, Part 2
We provide guidance on where to deploy application services in a Kubernetes environment, using WAF as an example. Depending on your needs, it can make sense to deploy your WAF at the "front door" of the environment, on the Ingress Controller, per-service, or per-Pod.
