F5 NGINXaaS for Azure

NGINXaaS for Azure is an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) version of NGINX Plus that enables application developers to deliver consistent, secure, and high-performance apps in the cloud – deployed straight from the Azure Marketplace with just a few clicks on the console.

Tightly integrated with the Microsoft Azure public cloud and its ecosystem, this integration makes applications fast, efficient, and reliable with full lifecycle management of advanced NGINX traffic services. NGINXaaS for Azure integrates with core Azure services – including Azure Active Directory (AD), Azure Key Vault, Azure Monitor, and Azure DevOps – meaning admins can easily leverage the Azure Portal, Azure Console, Azure API/SDK, Azure CLI, and Terraform for configuration and management.
