Announcing NGINX Ingress Controller for Kubernetes Release 1.8.0 We are happy to announce release 1.8.0 of the NGINX Ingress Controller for Kubernetes. This release builds upon the development of our supported solution for Ingress load balancing on Kubernetes platforms, including Red Hat OpenShift, Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (EKS), the Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), IBM Cloud Private, Diamanti, and others. With release 1.8.0, we continue our commitment to providing a flexible, powerful and easy-to-use Ingress Controller, which you can configure with both Kubernetes Ingress Resources and NGINX Ingress Resources: Kubernetes Ingress resources provide maximum compatibility across Ingress Controller implementations, and can be extended using annotations and custom templates to generate sophisticated configuration. NGINX Ingress resources provide an NGINX‑specific configuration schema, which is richer and safer than customizing the generic Kubernetes Ingress resources. Release 1.8.0 brings the following major [ more… ]

Introducing the NGINX Controller Data Forwarder with Splunk Integration p.search { text-indent: 20px; color:#666666; font-weight:bolder; white-space: nowrap; } At NGINX, we know you invest in many tools (and business workflows around those tools) to create, deliver, and manage modern apps. Visibility and analytics tools are no exception. At last month’s Controller and Coffee webinar on how to Optimize Performance with Application‑Centric Analytics, over half of attendees told us they’re using from three to five different tools to monitor and troubleshoot application performance. That’s why we’re investing in several capabilities around integrating NGINX Controller with analytics tools in your corporate ecosystem. To that end, we’re introducing a new NGINX Controller capability we call the Data Forwarder (“Forwarder” for short). Introducing the NGINX Controller Data Forwarder NGINX Controller is our cloud‑agnostic control plane solution for managing your NGINX Plus instances across multiple locations and environments.

Agile Perimeter Security with NGINX App Protect In the context of computer security, the perimeter is a conceptual line that establishes a “zone of trust” for applications and other infrastructure components inside it. In traditional infrastructure environments using a castle-and-moat approach, the perimeter separated the intranet (internal network) from the extranet or Internet. The intranet was presumed safe, and threat was assumed to come only from outside it. Security posture was rather static and consisted of establishing fortification around the intranet with packet inspection and access control measures. Over time, however, external attackers have found ways to circumvent security controls and compromise components in the intranet, or craft external attacks and make it look like their requests originate from within the perimeter – since the intranet was considered safe. This has motivated a change to a Zero Trust security model, where [ more… ]
