Do you need an Ingress controller to accept traffic into your Kubernetes environment? To help you decide, we offer a primer on the other services for getting external traffic into a cluster: kube-proxy, Cluster IP, NodePort, and LoadBalancer.

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.

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.

NGINX Plus R24 introduces support for encrypted JSON Web Tokens (JWE) and integration with F5 Device ID+. The NGINX JavaScript module reaches an important milestone with support for response filtering and use of HTTP-based authentication services for TCP/UDP connections.

This part of our series on deploying NGINX Plus as an API gateway - along with its other rich functionality - focuses on gatewaying gRPC services. gRPC is an alternative to REST APIs for building distributed applications, service mesh implementations in particular.

NGINX Plus R23 introduces new features including health checks for backend gRPC servers, unprivileged installation, support for the OpenID Connect PKCE extension, finer-grained control over TLS connections, a new method of setting cookie flags, and NGINX JavaScript enhancements.

We walk through a bash script for setting up a WordPress deployment on Ubuntu that's managed by NGINX Unit and uses NGINX for web serving. The resulting WordPress deployment is scriptable, supports Let’s Encrypt, and has production-ready settings.

We announce the technology preview of NGINX support for QUIC+HTTP/3 as pre-release software, available for interoperability testing, feedback, and code contributions. HTTP/3 replaces TCP with QUIC, which is designed to support multiplexed connections more reliably.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, you can do your part by reducing bandwith on the global network and optimizing your website efficiency. Here we offer five easy tips for tuning your NGINX configuration. The impact of these changes on thousands of websites can really add up!

NGINX Plus R21 is more reliable and secure than ever, importing numerous bug fixes from NGINX Open Source. New variable support in gRPC proxying extends dynamic, API‑driven routing policies to gRPC workloads, and the NGINX JavaScript module has been enhanced, particularly with respect to subrequests.
