Building and deploying cloud native APIs is a complex operation, and can require a multitude of components. In this workshop we focus on the fundamentals of deploying the runtime API code and publishing the API through an API gateway. To achieve this we use NGINX Unit as a polyglot application server and NGINX web server as an API gateway. With this combination we deliver a solution lightweight enough for dev and strong enough for production. You will learn how to use NGINX Unit to run one or more apps and APIs in a variety of languages, including seamlessly deploying new versions. You will then see the best practices for how to configure NGINX to perform the common API gateway functions of request routing, rate limiting, and authentication for multiple APIs. We will also touch on advanced use cases such as HTTP method enforcement, and JSON validation. No previous experience of NGINX or NGINX Unit is required, but a basic knowledge of HTTP and JSON/REST APIs is valuable.

On-Demand Recording: https://www.nginx.com/resources/webinars/secure-your-kubernetes-apps-from-attacks-with-nginx/ With more and more organizations conducting business with their customers online, web applications remain the top attack target for cybercriminals. It’s easy to see why; they are often complex, composed of microservices, and spanning distributed environments, increasing the number of endpoints vulnerable to exploitation. It is no surprise that OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities such as SQL injection and cross scripting (XSS) remain popular cyberattacks. You need to strengthen security for your containerized apps deployed in Kubernetes by adding a WAF to NGINX Ingress Controller. In this webinar we look at the cost of a typical application hack and why traditional WAFs don’t work for today’s modern applications. We conclude with a demo that showcases how by combining NGINX Ingress Controller with NGINX App Protect WAF you can protect your apps against common vulnerabilities, create granular policies for app services, and make your Kubernetes clusters a safer place to run your apps.

This document discusses F5 Distributed Cloud Services, which provides networking, security, and application delivery services across cloud, on-premises, and edge environments from a centralized SaaS console. It addresses challenges like complexity in coordinating technologies, automation, security across attack surfaces, and limited observability. The platform offers a unified view with centralized management, advanced security, full-stack observability, and automation. Use cases include hybrid/multi-cloud networking, web app and API protection, and running apps globally in cloud and edge. It is delivered via F5's global private network and provides value to DevOps, SecOps, and NetOps teams.

The adoption of tools for the provisioning and automatic configuration of "Infrastructure as Code" (eg Terraform, Cloudformation or Ansible) reduces cost, time, errors, violations and risks when provisioning and configuring the necessary infrastructure so that our software can run . However, those who have begun to make intensive use of this technology at the business level agree to identify the emergence of a very critical problem regarding the orchestration and governance needs of supply requests such as security, compliance, scalability, integrity and more. Learn how The Digital.ai DevOps Platform (formerly XebiaLabs DevOps Platform) responds to all these problems and many more, allowing you to continue working with your favorite tools.

NGINX AppProtect is a web application firewall (WAF) module for NGINX Plus that provides security protections beyond just signatures. It offers a lightweight software package that can be installed on top of NGINX Plus and leverages F5's core WAF technology. NGINX AppProtect provides high performance, security protections beyond signatures, simple CI/CD integration, and is designed for modern infrastructures.

Using cloud-native application services is easy, it “just works”. Many customers choose them without giving it a second thought. However, these app services vary from cloud to cloud, with differing levels of quality and numbers of features making visibility and control inconsistent across clouds. And then there is cost…it’s hard to know what your deployment is going to cost until after it’s been built. Often the services must be compiled in a piecemeal fashion and many products carry bloated code that increases costs. Finally, security is often an afterthought. Moreover, SecOps teams struggle to keep up with the breakneck app release cadence that has become typical. Often they are seen as DevOps viewing them as a major constraint on the ability to deliver software quickly. In this workshop, we showcase the NGINX solutions for cloud native Kubernetes that will allow you to: - Reduce tool sprawl and provide a standard set of services - Control costs with lightweight and easy solutions - Bring teams together with automation and self‑service capabilities

On-Demand Recording: https://www.nginx.com/resources/webinars/successfully-implement-your-api-strategy-with-nginx/ About the Webinar Cloud-native applications are distributed and decentralized by design, composed of dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of APIs connecting services deployed across cloud, on-premises, and edge environments. Without an effective API strategy in place, API sprawl quickly gets out-of-control and becomes unmanageable as the number of APIs in production outpaces your ability to govern and secure them. In this webinar we explore trends that are accelerating API sprawl and look at some well-established best practices for managing, governing, and securing APIs in distributed environments. Our presenters also demo how to use API Connectivity Manager, part of F5 NGINX Management Suite, to streamline and accelerate your API operations.
