NGINX and NGINX Plus Everywhere

2016-04-14 KENNETH 0

NGINX and NGINX Plus Everywhere The open source NGINX software and NGINX Plus, the commercially supported product built on NGINX, have become the application delivery platform for the most demanding web sites and applications in the world. Combined they now power over 50% of the world’s 10,000 busiest websites. NGINX and NGINX Plus provide flexibility, power, and simplicity on a scale that no other product offers. A major reason that NGINX and NGINX Plus offer unsurpassed flexibility and simplicity is that they are pure software solutions available for popular operating systems. We will come back to this point repeatedly because it is one of the key factors driving their flexibility. Many vendors of hardware and virtual appliances highlight the capabilities of their software but what they don’t mention is that the software comes pre-installed on proprietary hardware or in a pre-built virtual machine.

Service Discovery for NGINX Plus with ZooKeeper

2016-04-07 KENNETH 0

Service Discovery for NGINX Plus with ZooKeeper Our previous blog posts about service discovery with Consul and etcd discussed the importance of service discovery in distributed systems, including service-oriented and microservices architectures. In such systems it’s common to assign network locations to service instances dynamically, because their locations can change over time due to autoscaling, failures, or upgrades. To track the current network location of a service instance, clients need a sophisticated service discovery mechanism. In this blog, we’ll explain how to dynamically add or remove load-balanced servers that are registered with Apache ZooKeeperTM, a tool used for service discovery, in combination with NGINX Plus’ on-the-fly reconfiguration API. With this solution you can automate service discovery and change the set of load-balanced servers without having to reload the NGINX Plus configuration. Apache ZooKeeper is a software project of the Apache Software Foundation [ more… ]
