Securing API Workloads Using IDPs - NA

When it’s time to move from an old service to the new version, you don’t want to move all your traffic at once in case there are any issues with the new service. That’s why traffic splitting - including canary, circuit breaking and blue/green - is a valuable tool for ensuring resiliency. In this live stream, our experts will:

App developers and DevOps teams at more than 400 million websites rely on NGINX for a wide range of app delivery functions – load balancer, API gateway, reverse proxy, and web server. But the more NGINX instances you have, the bigger the challenge in keeping track of them all. That’s where NGINX Instance Manager comes in.

Join this webinar to learn about a new solution called NGINX Instance Manager that helps you to effortlessly discover, configure, and monitor NGINX Open Source and NGINX Plus instances at scale. The webinar includes a demo of NGINX Instance Manager in action.

Now with Rancher's market leading Kubernetes management platform plus NGINX’s market leading, production grade Ingress solution, organizations are empowered to simplify the deployment and management of Kubernetes at scale with enterprise grade solutions while focusing on delivering value for customers. Join us for this webinar and learn how to get started using Rancher + NGINX Ingress Controller.

Identity and Access Control play a vital role in your application modernisation story. In this webinar we look at why you should care about OpenID Connect and why you need to ensure that your API Management solution supports Identity Management. We will talk about why you need to manage identity and access control at the application gateway level, together with the benefits from a security, policy and governance standpoint.

The following topics will be covered in this webinar:

• Identity Management – the current landscape, open standards, and how these have evolved
• Access Management – achieving fine-grained control of API user privilege
• RBAC – Role Based Access Control of API Management resources
• Microgateways – Best practices for orchestration within containerized deployment models including Kubernetes, RedHat OpenShift.
• Ingress Control – The relationship between the Kubernetes Ingress Controller/RedHat Openshift Router and API management.

Docker and Kubernetes are considered standard components when building and orchestrating applications today. Yet you’re still responsible for managing applications built with “traditional” tools. How do you meet the demands of new, microservices applications, while still maintaining the legacy, monolith ones?


As technologists, we value innovation and discovering new tools and solutions. This webinar does just that, but first we take a look back at how we got here. Join this webinar to learn:


•The history of current trends in computing - cloud, containerization, and Kubernetes

•How load balancing and network architecture have evolved from basic DNS to complex systems that support new development styles like CI/CD, A/B testing of code releases, and self service

•Challenges that come along with virtualization, distributed applications, and multi/hybrid cloud

•Solutions to reduce the complexity of enterprise application infrastructure, including a new platform from NGINX, now part of F5, that bridges the gap between traditional hardware and newer software solutions

In 2021, a web application firewall (WAF) is essential. Amid prolonged remote working and the pandemic-driven surge in the use of digital services and eCommerce solutions, organizations are facing a bigger threat from malicious website visitors than ever before. In the current day, hackers injecting malicious code instead of an email address to create an account, bypassing web application layers and instantly getting access to SQL databases, are a very real threat.

The risk to businesses is enormous - no organization can face losing customer trust and data in a crowded, competitive marketplace. But there is a solution: the web application firewall (WAF). WAFs safeguard company data by protecting servers from hackers. All incoming requests are inspected, bad traffic is filtered and attacks are prevented. An integral component of application protection, they’re also a requirement for complying with PCI-DSS, and help protect against the OWASP Top 10.

However, not all WAFs are created equal. In 2021, It’s crucial to have a modern and lightweight WAF that maps well to business requirements, drives superior customer experience and ultimately helps organizations to outpace their competitors. In episode 2 of Fuel Business Growth and Innovation with New Application Delivery Strategies we’re sharing just what the modern WAF can do.

Join us to hear:

- How modern WAFs address some of the most difficult challenges facing modern DevOps environments, including integrating security controls directly into the development automation pipeline
- Best practices for applying and managing security for modern and distributed application environments such as containers and microservices
- Why best-in-class WAF strategies support container-based environments and complement components like API gateways
- And more

You may have heard about NGINX Unit as a polyglot application server for running your application code. But there is a lot more to discover. In this session we deep dive into the network layer of NGINX Unit, configuring routes with matching patterns to proxy traffic to our NGINX Unit-controlled applications. We show you tips and tricks for using NGINX Unit in your day-to-day engineering work by means of APIs written in Python and a frontend application created with ReactJS. After this session you will be able to use NGINX Unit as your development control plane to easily run and proxy traffic to different applications without the operational overhead of multiple containers and a separate NGINX proxy.
