Watch webinar on-demand: www.nginx.com/resources/webinars/google-cloud-platform-nginx-kubernetes Moving to the cloud and transitioning to containerized deployments are top of mind for many enterprises as they build applications to meet quickly increasing user demands. The cloud offers the flexibility, scalability, reliability, and security that enterprise applications demand, and by moving services, and all their dependencies, to containers, developers and engineers win the flexibility and freedom to easily scale and secure their applications. Over the past few years a number of tools have emerged to make it easier than ever to run applications in the cloud and manage rapidly growing numbers of containers. Kubernetes and NGINX are two of the leading tools used in the cloud, and they are commonly used together to quickly and easily deploy and scale applications. Join us in this webinar co-hosted by Sandeep Dinesh, Developer Advocate, of Google’s Cloud Platform team, and Floyd Smith of NGINX to learn: How to use NGINX for internal and external load balancing of applications on Google Compute Engine. Benefits of using container orchestration systems like Kubernetes. How to load balance Kubernetes services with NGINX Plus on Google Container Engine.

is only half the battle,
delivering the application
is the other half.

5. Monoliths vs. Microservices
5

6. The Monolithic Architecture
• To scale, you must scale the entire
monolith
• All services are written in the same
language using the same framework
• Changing one service means rebuilding,
retesting, and redeploying the entire
monolith
• Multiple changes at once – argh!
• Release cycles tend to be long

9. The Microservices Architecture
• Enables continuous delivery, rapid
deployment, and elasticity
• You can scale each service independently
• Services can be written in different
languages using different frameworks
• Each service can be changed, tested, and
built independently
• Release cycles can be dramatically
shortened

11. NGINX Plus with Microservices
• Fit together naturally and are easily
integrated with container
environments and DevOps tools
• Run NGINX Plus inside or outside
the microservices environment
• NGINX Plus provides a single, stable
entry point while containers are
deployed and destroyed behind it

30. What is Kubernetes?
Greek for “Helmsman”; also the root of
the word “Governor”
• Container orchestrator
• Runs containers
• Supports multiple cloud and bare-metal
environments
• Inspired and informed by Google’s
experiences and internal systems
• Open source, written in Go
• kubernetes.io
Manage applications, not machines
