Bret is joined by two pros from the NGINX team, Robert Haynes and Brian Ehlert to break down the various use cases of NGINX on Kubernetes, and help you decide when and where you'll be using it.

There's a lot going on around NGINX and I wanted to focus this conversation around NGINX on Kubernetes, and specifically the two ways you can run it for cluster ingress. We also get into some of the advanced scenarios of using NGINX, like caching and web application firewalls (WAF).

Many of us are using NGINX somewhere in our clusters. I found it very interesting how Robert, Brian, and the team at F5 spend a lot of time showing customers how they can use it in many ways to avoid deploying additional products on their clusters. I'm a big fan of reducing complexity.

Streamed live on YouTube on December 15, 2022.
