About the Ebook

Kubernetes – the de facto container orchestration platform – is designed to simplify management of containerized applications and workloads at scale. However, running Kubernetes in production across hybrid or multi-cloud environments can be a complex task. NGINX helps simplify and streamline app and API connectivity with a unified set of infrastructure-agnostic, Kubernetes-native tools that deliver enterprise-class performance, availability, security, and visibility.

This hands‑on guide to NGINX Ingress Controller, NGINX Service Mesh, and NGINX App Protect is for platform engineering, application development, and infrastructure and operations teams. It shows how to integrate these tools into your environment to simplify and streamline Kubernetes app connectivity. Learn all you need to know about installation and configuration, Layer 4 and Layer 7 load balancing, traffic splitting techniques, distributed tracing and monitoring, single sign‑on, and more.
