The built-in live activity monitoring dashboard tracks NGINX Plus metrics in real time, and can get additional insight from visualizations of performance over time. In this demo and blog we show how to generate time-series graphs of NGINX Plus metrics using Prometheus and Grafana.
Implementing OpenID Connect Authentication for Kubernetes with Okta and NGINX Ingress Controller
The Ingress controller is an ideal location for centralized authentication and authorization in Kubernetes. We show how to implement single sign-on with NGINX Ingress Controller as the relaying party and Okta as the identity provider in the OIDC Authorization Code Flow.
Reducing Kubernetes Costs by 70% in the Cloud with NGINX, Opsani, and Prometheus
With Opsani you can optimize NGINX Ingress Controller performance in the cloud. Powered by machine learning, Opsani processes metrics collected by Prometheus to ensure that the right amount of resources is consumed for higher performance and lower cost.
A Guide to Choosing an Ingress Controller, Part 3: Open Source vs. Default vs. Commercial
As you evaluate Ingress controllers, you’ll notice they fall into three categories: open source, default, or commercial. Learn the pros and cons for each here.
Bringing F5 and NGINX WAF Policies into Controller App Security
With NGINX Controller App Security for version 3.20 of the Application Delivery Module, you can now import your custom F5 Advanced WAF and NGINX App Protect WAF policies and distribute them across all your managed deployments. We call this Bring Your Own NGINX App Protect WAF Policy.
A Guide to Choosing an Ingress Controller, Part 2: Risks and Future-Proofing
Learn about risks you might introduce by selecting the wrong Ingress controller, and key areas where you can future-proof your selection.
Building Smaller Container Images
Small is beautiful when it comes to containers in test and dev environments: they take less time to build, use less memory, and have a smaller attack surface. We explore tools and provides instructions for building images that are a small as possible.
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.
Safer Configuration Management with NGINX Controller
NGINX Controller makes app deployments safer and more scalable by ensuring that all functional components and associated certificates are configured correctly and consistently. Learn how its configuration object model ensures that changes don't harm availability or performance.
A New, Open Source Modern Apps Reference Architecture
We announce the Modern Apps Reference Architecture, an open source architecture and deployment model for modern apps deployed in Kubernetes. We invite you to "steal" it to help speed your production deployments, modify it, and submit integrations of your favorite tools.
