NGINX is one of the most widely used web servers available today, in part because of its capabilities as a load balancer and reverse proxy server for HTTP and other network protocols. This cookbook provides easy-to-follow examples to real-world problems in application delivery. The practical recipes will help you set up and use either the open source or commercial offering to solve problems in various use cases.For professionals who understand modern web architectures, such as n-tier or microservice designs, and common web protocols including TCP and HTTP, these recipes provide proven solutions for security, software load balancing, and monitoring and maintaining NGINXs application delivery platform. Youll also explore advanced features of both NGINX and NGINX Plus, the free and licensed versions of this server.Youll find recipes for:High-performance load balancing with HTTP, TCP, and UDPSecuring access through encrypted traffic, secure links, HTTP authentication subrequests, and moreDeploying NGINX to Google Cloud, AWS, and Azure cloud computing servicesSetting up and configuring NGINX ControllerInstalling and configuring the NGINX Plus App Protect moduleEnabling WAF through Controller ADC

Alongside its popular web server, NGINX provides a dynamic application server that supports configuration through a RESTful JSON API. The open source NGINX Unit server deploys configuration changes without service disruptions and runs apps built with multiple languages and frameworks. This updated cookbook shows developers, DevOps personnel, network admins, and cloud infrastructure pros how to quickly get started with NGINX Unit.Hands-on recipes demonstrate Units new approach and show you how to deploy and configure this server for different applications. Youll learn how to run applications written in different languages on the same server, how to use NGINX Unit as the foundation for your web application development environment, and how Units RESTful API simplifies configuration.Learn how Unit differs from other middleware application serversInstall Unit using source code, Red Hat and Debian systems, or third-party repositoriesConfigure Unit using application, router, and listener objectsStart and stop the Unit server and the applications it runsManage user permissions, Linux namespace isolation, and API securityRun WordPress, Django, and other web applications with UnitServe applications with an NGINX proxy or load balancer

With more and more companies moving on-premises applications to the cloud, software and cloud solution architects alike are busy investigating ways to improve load balancing, performance, security, and high availability for workloads. This practical book describes Microsoft Azure's load balancing options and explains how NGINX can contribute to a comprehensive solution.Cloud architects Derek DeJonghe and Arlan Nugara take you through the steps necessary to design a practical solution for your network. Software developers and technical managers will learn how these technologies have a direct impact on application development and architecture. While the examples are specific to Azure, these load balancing concepts and implementations also apply to cloud providers such as AWS, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean, and IBM Cloud.Understand application delivery and load balancing--and why they're importantExplore Azure's managed load balancing optionsLearn how to run NGINX OSS and NGINX Plus on AzureExamine similarities and complementing features between Azure-managed solutions and NGINXUse Azure Front Door to define, manage, and monitor global routing for your web trafficMonitor application performance using Azure and NGINX tools and plug-insExplore security choices using NGINX and Azure Firewall solutions
