Microservice Network Architectures
with NGINX Plus

Join us Friday, September, 9 for "Microservice Network Architectures with NGINX Plus". In this one day hands-on training, you will explore the Proxy, Router Mesh, and Fabric network architecture models through the NGINX Microservices Reference Architecture. In hands-on labs, you will create an NGINX proxy to a microservices application. You’ll then do centralized load balancing in the Router Mesh model. Finally, you’ll do container-to-container load balancing using the Fabric Model.

Audience: This class is for experienced developers and NGINX admins who understand microservices architectures.

What: A one day, hands-on, team-based learning experience with NGINX’s Chris Stetson and professional services team. Participants will explore three microservice network architectures through in class lectures and hands-on activities.

You will:

  • Learn how to deploy NGINX Plus as a HTTP gateway to their microservices application
  • Deploy NGINX Plus to act as a centralized load-balancer for interprocess communication between their microservices
  • Deploy NGINX Plus at the container level to create a fabric network of persistent SSL connections between their microservices
  • Collaborate and connect with other participants
  • Get your questions answered by experts from NGINX

Prerequisites/Requirements:

  • Solid understanding of web server functionality
  • Experience working with NGINX .conf files
  • Working knowledge of NGINX proxy and load balancing capabilities
  • Comfortable working on the command line in a UNIX environment
  • Attendees should bring a wifi-enabled laptop to the class
