NGINX, Istio, and the Move to Microservices and Service Mesh
On-demand recording: https://www.nginx.com/resources/webinars/istio-move-to-microservices-service-mesh/
About the webinar
NGINX is widely known, used, and trusted for a variety of purposes. NGINX works as a reliable, high-performance web server, reverse proxy server, and load balancer. NGINX is also a widely used microservices hub, an Ingress controller for Kubernetes, and a sidecar proxy in the Istio service mesh.
In this webinar, we’ll describe the move to microservices, the crucial role that NGINX has already played, and a range of architectural options that organizations have for their microservices apps, including three progressively complex models in the NGINX Microservices Reference Architecture. We’ll then introduce the emergence of Kubernetes as a container orchestration framework, the use of service mesh architectures, and the design of Istio. We’ll finish by showing how NGINX Open Source and NGINX Plus can be used as the sidecar proxy in an Istio service mesh, bringing greater reliability and capability to your service mesh application.
An in depth overview of Kubernetes and it's various components.

(BDT202) HPC Now Means 'High Personal Computing' | AWS re:Invent 2014
Since 2011, ONS.org.br (responsible for planning and operating the Brazilian Electric Sector) has been using AWS to run daily simulations using complex mathematical models. The use of the MIT StarCluster toolkit makes running HPC on AWS much less complex and lets ONS provision a high performance cluster in less than 5 minutes. Since the elapsed time of a big cluster depends of the user, ONS decide to develop a HPC portal where its engineers can interface with AWS and MIT StarCluster without knowing a line of code or having to use the command terminal. It is just a simple turn-on/turn-off portal. The cluster now gets personal, and every engineer runs the models using HPC on AWS as if they are using a PC.

These policies define actionable states based on a defined event and time frame (e.g., add instance when CPU utilization is greater than 90% for 5 consecutive minutes). In this session, Electronic Arts (EA) discusses a pro-active approach to scaling. You learn how to analyze past resource usage to help pre-emptively determine when to add or remove instances for a given launch configuration. Past data is retrieved via Amazon CloudWatch APIs, and the application of supervised machine learning models and time series smoothing is discussed.

Mitigating the Impact of State Management in Cloud Stream Processing SystemsScyllaDB
Stream processing is a crucial component of modern data infrastructure, but constructing an efficient and scalable stream processing system can be challenging. Decoupling compute and storage architecture has emerged as an effective solution to these challenges, but it can introduce high latency issues, especially when dealing with complex continuous queries that necessitate managing extra-large internal states.
In this talk, we focus on addressing the high latency issues associated with S3 storage in stream processing systems that employ a decoupled compute and storage architecture. We delve into the root causes of latency in this context and explore various techniques to minimize the impact of S3 latency on stream processing performance. Our proposed approach is to implement a tiered storage mechanism that leverages a blend of high-performance and low-cost storage tiers to reduce data movement between the compute and storage layers while maintaining efficient processing.
Throughout the talk, we will present experimental results that demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in mitigating the impact of S3 latency on stream processing. By the end of the talk, attendees will have gained insights into how to optimize their stream processing systems for reduced latency and improved cost-efficiency.

Key Takeaways: Open source, vendor neutral instrumentation is an exciting new reality as the industry standardizes on openTelemetry for observability. OpenTelemetry is on a mission to enable effective observability by making high-quality, portable telemetry ubiquitous. The world of observability and monitoring today has a steep learning curve and in order to achieve ubiquity, the project would benefit from growing our contributor community.
Kief Morris rethinks the infrastructure code delivery lifecycle, advocating for a shift towards composable infrastructure systems. We should shift to designing around deployable components rather than code modules, use more useful levels of abstraction, and drive design and deployment from applications rather than bottom-up, monolithic architecture and delivery.

What I am talking about here is partly from an upcoming whitepaper around NGINX and its usage on AWS.
Going to start with an overview of AWS and who we are.
Then jump into NGINX and go into some best practices around architecting on AWS with NGINX, security recommendations, specific NGINX configurations you can use with AWS and AWS product integrations you can achieve with NGINX.
I will not be going into any design of our individual services and if they are using NGINX or not.
The broad and deep platform that is AWS.
If want to build new businesses from scratch or move some/all workloads to cloud, need a broad array of services and features to make this happen and not have to piecemeal it
AWS Platform started in 2006 and it has grown rapidly since that time. Today it is the underlying infrastructure for companies around the world including startups, enterprises, and government agencies.
AWS has hundreds of thousands of customers in 190 countries around the world.
A little background…
After over a decade of building and running the highly scalable web application, Amazon.com, the company realized that it had developed a core competency in operating massive scale technology infrastructure and datacenters, and embarked on a much broader mission of serving a new customer segment—developers and businesses—with a platform of web services they can use to build sophisticated, scalable applications.
AWS is a comprehensive cloud services platform, offering compute power, storage, content delivery, and other functionality that enables businesses to cost-effectively deploy applications and services with greater flexibility, scalability, and reliability. The power of self-service through AWS means you can proactively address your internal plans and react to external demands when you choose and not have to wait for a salesperson to return your call.
In response to customer needs and internal innovation on the customer’s behalf, In 2011, we released over 80 significant services and features; in 2012, nearly 160; and in 2013, 280. This trend does not show any sign of slowing.
Experiment Often and fail without risk
No time spent on ordering and waiting for infrastructure.
Have an idea and try it out. Keep what you need return what you do not
IT personnel can focus on more important pieces above the infrastructure or on more important infrastructure needing their attention.
Quick focus on infrastructure because it is a key component that we will be discussing and utilizing throughout this presentation
As you saw from the overall AWS platform and service overview slide there are a lot of services that AWS offers.
What I am going to touch base on here are services that are going to be relevant to the rest of the discussion that I will be presenting on.
ELB Health Checks
AutoScaling Health Checks
Route53- Route to infrastructure inside or outside of AWS
* Routing – Latency, Geo, weighted round robin
* health checks – DNS Failover. Route 53 monitors endpoint and if there is a failure traffic will be routed to an alternate endpoint
When it comes to NGINX on AWS we see lots of use cases where it is part of the architecture. In the short time that I have been with AWS I hear it referred to regularly as being parts of architectures that people have implemented on AWS.
Amazon Linux AMI now has it.
Here is the architecture implemented by NASA/JPL for the Mars Curiosity mission. This comes from the AWS Case Study on the implementation. This architecture represents what was used to support the live video streaming of the rover landing.
You will see that they are implementing 100s of EC2 instances running NGINX. In this case they are using it as cache servers for content that they needed to serve up during the live event.
NGINX Plus is available in the AWS Marketplace.
AWS Marketplace is an online store that allows you to find software and services that run on the EC2 cloud.
Search on NGINX Plus to find the listing of marketplace offerings
Go through the launch instance process to get the instances launched with your desired configuration
Connect to and verify your instance. This will give you your basic NGINX instance ready to serve up web traffic and give you your baseline for going deeper
Security is a top priority at AWS. We look to keep AWS secure as well as advise our customers on how they can keep themselves secure.
Keep SSH restricted even if you open up HTTP and HTTPS. If you are really good at how you deploy you can even get away without using SSH.
ELB Error checking and taking instances out of service.
Multiple layers to do health checks on your stack. Route53, ELB, AutoScaling
If you are using your NGINX installation as your primary load balancer and you are serving up traffic to servers that are an in an Auto Scaling group you need to make sure that your NGINX configuration is aware of instances coming and going from your Auto Scaling group.
If you are using your NGINX installation as your primary load balancer and you are serving up traffic to servers that are an in an Auto Scaling group you need to make sure that your NGINX configuration is aware of instances coming and going from your Auto Scaling group.
The T2 instance class is well served for initial testing of configuration and functionality for your deployments.
First production deployment can be served by general purpose instances such as m3.medium or m3.large
As traffic levels grow you can look to scale up or scale out depending on your needs
SSL termination, lots of small requests or WebSocket are more CPU intensive so you want to be looking at instances that will allow you access to that resource.
Content caching is going to be looking to retain as much in memory as well as be able to access disk storage quickly. You will be looking for appropriately sized instance storage as well as memory to hold as much of your content as possible so that you are minimizing disk hits.
Bandwidth heavy such as serving files or large downloads – you may find that you are challenged by network bandwidth as a limiting factor and horizontal scaling may be the best option
One of the great benefits of the AWS platform it that is facilitates the ability to experiment various scenarios and then return the infrastructure when you are done. You only pay for what you used during the time that you used the infrastructure.
Test out some configurations you think will work for your expected and un-expected traffic patterns and if you are not getting performance that you want try different instance sizes or add more instances. When you are done testing turn off and return what you do not need.
Monitoring once you have your desired configuration is critical as it allows you to verify that things are performing optimally as well as allow you to get in front of potential problems.
Taking up front time to make sure that you are set up properly will pay benefits in the long run.
Unexpected means things like AutoScaling and how you can launch enough instances to cover what you need. It is configurable based on the patterns that you are seeing. Test large traffic rates quickly. Do you need to change your monitoring.
I did some research on web server load testing tools as well as asked around. I got a lot of different answers.
End of the day you need to use what you are comfortable with and what allows you to execute the tests that you feel will help you get what you need out of your test.
For your testing it is key that your tests reflect your actual traffic patterns.
It is key that your test is executed on a different host so that the testing tool does not conflict with your instance performance or skew metrics.
It is next key to test from a different availability zone to help simulate traffic coming from a different location
It is next key to test traffic from a different region to help simulate traffic coming from other locations over the public internet
As we dive into some NGINX use cases you will see examples of these recommendations.
In addition to High Availability configuration that you may implement on AWS where you might have NGINX in multiple Azs and using AutoScaling, NGINX also has its own high availability configuration available to handle situations that require it.
Different routing options from Route53. Outline from whitepaper
Route 53 latency and round robin options.
Lots of different options that you can employ for your monitoring needs and in the end you are going to choose the one that best suits your needs.
There is an opportunity here to utilize CloudWatch as your centralized monitoring for not only what is going on with your EC2 instances that are running NGINX but also your overall NGINX and application environment.
This requires a small agent to be running on your EC2 instance.
Either need to use an instance role or provide access keys
CloudWatch logs allows you the ability to capture log files from your instances for further analysis.
You could be capturing one log file from one instance or you could be capturing the same log file from many instances in a fleet.
Cloudtrail logs gives you the ability to interpret the data in these log files and turn them into CloudWatch metrics. You can view the metrics graphically or create alarms based on the metrics that came from your log files
