Introducing NGINX 1.16 and 1.17
https://www.nginx.com/blog/nginx-1-16-1-17-released/
And now with NGINX controller… we have a…High Performing, Cloud-Native and API Driven Solution to Deploying, Monitoring and Managing your NGINX Plus Instances at Scale and I am going to get more into this later
And we can go a step further and look at more of the core features that are necessary in either an API Management or Gateway solution….
Our customers can deploy this solution in one of 4 different types of environments:
1 – This can live on NGINX Plus when NGINX plus is used as a load balancer,
2 – If you’re using NGINX as API Gateway, you can install NGINX App Protect in that instance to protect API’s
3 – You can use it as an Ingress controller for Kubernetes pods
4 – You can also use it as a sidecar for microservices
