NGINX OSS and MORE with Silvia Briscoe

Silvia Briscoe is an engineer for F5, which recently acquired NGINX (the company), and she'd like to share with us what she's learned about NGINX (the FLOSS).

NGINX is an HTTP/S server and proxy that is growing in popularity, and compares favorably to Apache HTTP Server and provides basic Load Balancing functions.

NGINX has a suite of products including, but not limited to:

NGINX OSS (Open Source Software)
Using NGINX as a proxy/Loadbalancer
NGINX as a Web Application Firewall (using ModSec)
NGINX as API Manager

We'll be covering basics on the above and performing hands on labs.

We'll also cover other products on paper, but labs will only include the above products.

Objectives:

• Use NGINX as an HTTP/S server
• Use NGINX as an HTTP/S proxy and load balancer
• Use NGINX as WAF (ModSec)
• Discuss and (if time permits) setup an API Manager
• Look at NGINX as an Ingress controller for Kubernetes

Requirements:

• Laptop
• Virtual Machine with the ability to run Ubuntu
• Docker Account

Price: $32 Normally, this class will cost $128, but this event is half price for Software Freedom First Saturday, and half price for the first run of a brand new class.
