Mitigating Security Vulnerabilities Quickly and Easily with NGINX Plus Here at NGINX we’re proud that literally millions of organizations around the world trust our software to power their websites and app‑delivery infrastructure. Given how critically our users depend on NGINX, we’re surprised when they admit they haven’t given much thought to the importance of running an up-to-date version that has fixes for the security vulnerabilities – such as Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) – that have become so common on today’s Internet. Of course it’s not enough to think about guarding against security threats – you need to implement well‑defined processes for tracking vulnerabilities and putting protections in place as soon as they become available. It’s easy to underestimate how much time and effort that can take if you have to do it all yourself, as is the case with open source software. [ more… ]

Reduce Complexity with Production-Grade Kubernetes 2020 was a year that few of us will ever forget. The abrupt shuttering of schools, businesses, and public services left us suddenly isolated from our communities and thrown into uncertainty about our safety and financial stability. Now imagine for a moment that this had happened in 2000, or even 2010. What would be different? Technology. Without the high‑quality digital services that we take for granted – healthcare, streaming video, remote collaboration tools – a pandemic would be a very different experience. What made the technology of 2020 so different from past decades? Containers and microservices. Microservices architectures – which generally make use of containers and Kubernetes – fuel business growth and innovation by reducing time to market for digital experiences. Whether alongside traditional architectures or as a standalone, these modern app technologies enable superior scalability and flexibility, faster deployments, and even [ more… ]
