Kubernetes is a core component of most modern app delivery strategies because it helps organizations deliver apps faster with more agility and avoid costly downtime. But adopting Kubernetes is far from easy for organizations that are used to delivering three-tier apps. How do you decide which apps to refactor and which to build from scratch? What kinds of processes and tools can help you avoid common challenges around security and complexity? Join this session led by Rey Lejano, Kubernetes Field Engineer at Racher, for answers to these common questions.

Microservices Security Pattern in Kubernetes (East-West Traffic)

In this webinar we cover what APIs and API gateways are, and how to configure and secure your API gateways using NGINX Plus and NGINX App Protect. We demo how to deploy NGINX Plus as an API gateway, and show how to secure the API gateway by using encrypted JSON Web Tokens (JWE) and importing an OpenAPI spec to NGINX App Protect. In the Q&A we answer your questions about deploying and securing your API gateway.

From your bank account to your email, APIs power your digital experiences. According to a survey by RapidAPI, 96% of developers are using more APIs in 2021 than in 2020. Are you planning on building internal APIs to be used just within your organization or external APIs for your mobile app? Whatever your API goals are, you need an API gateway to handle incoming traffic. API gateway deployments are a leading use case for NGINX Plus, our commercially supported offering based on NGINX Open Source.

Deploy and Secure Your API Gateway with NGINX

Join the experts from Learnk8s and NGINX to learn “What are the best practices for deploying an API gateways in Kubernetes?” This livestream builds on concepts discussed in “Architecting Kubernetes Clusters for High-Traffic Websites” – including flow of a packet, more on NodePort vs LoadBalancer vs Ingress, routing internal vs external traffic (multiple ingresses, IngressClasses), Authorization and Authentication (OIDC), rate limiting, and graceful shutdown in Kubernetes.

The Future of Kubernetes Connectivity

In this webinar, Zipwhip’s Principal Architect, Kolby Allen, describes: - The business and technical challenges his team faced - Why they chose NGINX Ingress Controller and AWS to power their modern apps - The benefits of the joint solution - How Zipwhip Site Resiliency Engineering (SRE) and DevOps teams are leveraging these technologies  We also demo how easy it is to deploy NGINX Ingress Controller in Amazon EKS.

Zipwhip was the first company to enable texting on existing business phone numbers, and today is the world’s leading business‑texting software and API provider. More than 35,000 companies use Zipwhip to increase customer engagement and drive growth through texting on their existing landline, VoIP, or toll‑free phone number.  

To achieve this scale, Zipwhip transformed its traditional core architecture (physical data centers, VMware clusters, storage arrays, firewalls, and switches) to a modern architecture that incorporates cloud providers, Infrastructure as Code, repeatability, and Kubernetes. 

In building out this large, complex infrastructure, Zipwhip prioritized simplification whenever possible, choosing NGINX Ingress Controller as the main ingress into its Kubernetes environment and so much more.

IBM’s 2021 ‘Microservices in the Enterprise’ survey found that 87% of microservices adopters agree that microservices adoption is worth the expense and effort. Credited with improving agility and enabling businesses to pivot and address the changing demands of their customer base - a crucial asset in the pandemic world - microservices are increasingly at the heart of success in the digital economy.  

Yet despite the rising popularity of microservices, some organizations worry about how to get the process right. From managing potential security risks to understanding how best to navigate the complexity and potential rising costs that a long-term commitment to microservices might present, it’s understandable why running a microservices-driven architecture can seem so daunting.  

In episode 1 of NGINX’s ‘Mastering App Modernization’ series, host Steve Pereira and guests are here to take away any confusion by answering common questions about how companies can utilize microservices to streamline application management and make it easier for IT teams to collaborate. 

Along with reviewing best practices for microservices and delving deeper into how organisations can incorporate microservices into their current application development strategy, they’ll be sharing:
- The broader business benefits microservices can realize
- How microserves can benefit both the experience of DevOps teams and the end user
- How a microservice architecture can improve workflows and productivity compared to centralized applications
- Security best practices for microservices and the importance of ‘security by design’ 
- Common concerns and challenges faced when adopting microservices, and strategies for overcoming them
- And more
