<\/p>\nAre you planning to serve API requests from Kubernetes and wondering about best practices for deploying API gateways? Then Unit 2 is for you!<\/p>\n
Three activities guide you progressively from a high‑level overview to practical application. We suggest you complete all three to get the best experience.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Watch the Livestream (1 Hour)<\/h2>\n
Each Microservices March livestream provides a high‑level overview of the topic featuring subject matter experts from learnk8s<\/a> and NGINX. If you miss the live airing on March 14 –<\/span> don\u2019t worry! You can catch it on demand.<\/p>\n
In this episode, we answer the question \u201cHow do I expose APIs in Kubernetes?\u201d<\/em> It covers:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Best practices for deploying API gateways in Kubernetes<\/li>\n
- Authorization and authentication<\/li>\n
- OpenID Connect (OIDC)<\/li>\n
- Rate limiting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Step 2: Deepen Your Knowledge (1–2 Hours)<\/h2>\n
We expect you\u2019ll have more questions after the livestream – that\u2019s why we curated a collection of relevant reading and videos. This Unit\u2019s deep dive covers two topics: tool options for deploying API gateways in Kubernetes and use cases you can accomplish with these tools.<\/p>\n
\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.nginx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/API-gateway-IC-service-mesh_featured.png\")
<\/a>\n<\/div>\nBlog | How Do I Choose? API Gateway vs. Ingress Controller vs. Service Mesh<\/a><\/strong>
\nStart by reading this blog, which guides you through the decision about which technology to use for API gateway use cases, with sample scenarios for north‑south and east‑west API traffic.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.nginx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/WB-NGINX-NXM1910-APIGatewayUseCasesForKubernetes-featured-500x300-1.png\")
<\/a>\n<\/div>\nWebinar | API Gateway Use Cases for Kubernetes<\/a><\/strong>
\nIn addition to discussing the various tools and use cases, our experts demo how you can use an Ingress controller and service mesh to accomplish API gateway use cases.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nNow that you have a good foundation in how API gateways can be deployed in Kubernetes, it\u2019s a good time to dive into common use cases. The following blogs walk through how to implement two common use cases using Kubernetes tools: identity verification and rate limiting.<\/p>\n
\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.nginx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/OIDC-Kubernetes-Okta-NGINX-IC_featured.svg\")
<\/a>\n<\/div>\nBlog | Implementing OpenID Connect Authentication in Kubernetes with Okta and NGINX Ingress Controller<\/a><\/strong>
\nThe Ingress controller is an ideal location for centralized authentication and authorization in Kubernetes, which can help you reduce errors and increase efficiency. In this blog, we walk through how to implement single sign‑on with NGINX Ingress Controller as the relaying party and Okta as the identity provider in the OIDC Authorization Code Flow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.nginx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/NGINX-Service-Mesh-rate-limiting_featured.png\")
<\/a>\n<\/div>\nBlog & Video | How to Use NGINX Service Mesh for Rate Limiting<\/a><\/strong>
\nHigh request volume can overwhelm your Kubernetes services, which is why limiting each client to a reasonable number of requests is a crucial component of your resilience strategy. In this blog and video, we demonstrate how it can take less than 10 minutes to define and apply a rate‑limiting policy using NGINX Service Mesh.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nBonus Research<\/h3>\n
If you\u2019re keen to deepen your knowledge on APIs and API gateways – and have more than 1–2 hours to spend – then we suggest a series of additional resources:<\/p>\n
\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.nginx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/EBOOK-NGINX-NXM707-InfoQ-Real-TimeAPIsDesign-r1-featured-500x300@2x.png\")
<\/a>\n<\/div>\neMagazine | Real-Time APIs: Design, Operation, and Observation<\/a><\/strong>
\nThis eMagazine addresses effective planning, architecture, and deployment of APIs for reliable flexibility.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.nginx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ebk-NGINX-Real-Time-API-Handbook-featured-500x300-1.png\")
<\/a>\n<\/div>\neBook | The NGINX Real-Time API Handbook<\/a><\/strong>
\nThis eBook is a comprehensive guide to reducing latency in your applications and APIs without making any compromises. It covers trends driving real‑time APIs, a practical reference architecture for any enterprise, and helpful vendor comparisons and case studies to make the business case for investing in the proper API management solution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.nginx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/ebk-ORM-API-Traffic-Management-101-featured-500x300.png\")
<\/a>\n<\/div>\neBook | API Traffic Management 101: From Monitoring to Managing and Beyond<\/a><\/strong>
\nIn this O\u2019Reilly eBook, Mike Amundsen introduces developers and network administrators to the basic concepts and challenges of monitoring and managing API traffic. You\u2019ll learn approaches for observing and controlling external (north‑south) traffic and for optimizing internal (east‑west) traffic. You\u2019ll also examine the business value of good API traffic practice that connects your business goals and internal progress measurements to useful traffic monitoring, reporting, and analysis.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step 3: Get Hands On (1 Hour)<\/h2>\n
Even with all the best webinars and research, there\u2019s nothing quite like getting your hands on the tech. The labs will run you through common scenarios to reinforce your learning.<\/p>\n
In our second self‑paced lab, you use NGINX Ingress Controller to implement rate limiting and prevent an API and app from getting overwhelmed by too many requests.<\/p>\n
To access the lab, you need to register<\/a> for Microservices March 2022. If you\u2019re already registered, the email you received with the Unit 2 Learning Guide includes access instructions.<!– ADD A LINEBREAK ABOVE THE TAG AND INSERT THE LAST ELEMENT OF THE YOUTUBE URL AS INDICATED: –><\/p>\n
Why Register for Microservices March?<\/h2>\n
While some of the activities (the livestreams and blogs) are freely available, we need to collect just a little personal information to get you setup with the full experience. Registration<\/a> gives you:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Access to four self‑paced labs where you can get hands‑on with the tech via common scenarios<\/li>\n
- Membership in the Microservices March Slack channel for asking questions of the experts and networking with fellow participants<\/li>\n
- Weekly learning guides to help you stay on top of the agenda<\/li>\n
- Calendar invites for the livestreams<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
What\u2019s Next?<\/h2>\n
Unit 3: Microservices Security Pattern in Kubernetes<\/em> begins on March 21. Learn about the sidecar pattern, policies that can make your services more secure and resilient, service meshes, mTLS, and end-to-end<\/span> encryption. <\/p>\n
