Welcome to Azure NGINX Meetup – From Application code to Customer
Delivering modern applications has upped the needs to provide agile application services free from infrastructure constrains, while ensuring applications run faster, secured and at scale. Choosing the right architecture for application services allows organizations to innovate faster and role new services on any infrastructure or cloud architecture.
From code development to customer consumption, NGINX deployed on Azure is helping millions of organizations deliver application infrastructure and services ensuring their application are fast, secure and run at scale.
In this workshop you will experience how to deploy your application in an agile way, using NGINX utilizing Azure compute, applying all the application services needed, such as service mesh, API management and web application firewall in a fully automated way.
Start by using automation and use Infrastructure as Code concepts to deploy the environment.
- Monitor the application performance, discover issues and improve performance
- Authenticate users with OpenID Connect and offload authentication processes from the application to Nginx
- Zero Trust - Applying Mutual TLS authentication with NGINX
- Trace your application functions within the mesh
- Secure the interservice communication
Secure you application with Nginx App Protect Web Application Firewall.
- Protect you application from fraudulent interactions and separate legitimate traffic from unwanted one
- Block unwanted Bot traffic to your application
- Publish the application APIs with NGINX Micro Gateway
Deploy and publish your API endpoints with NGINX Micro Gateway within your Kubernetes environment
- Enhance APIs with JWT or Access Key token authentication
Offload API authentication processes to your API gateway and concentrate
- Apply API rate limit and spike arrest
Protect your APIs from abuse and enforce monetization controls
- Monitor your application performance
Discover your application performance, understand and react when application SLAs are impacted
