Description
As more companies migrate their on-premises applications to the cloud, both software and cloud solution architects are actively exploring methods to enhance load balancing, performance, security, and high availability for workloads. This practical guide delves into Microsoft Azure’s load balancing options and demonstrates how NGINX contributes to a robust solution.
Authors Derek DeJonghe and Arlan Nugara lead readers through the steps required to design effective network solutions. Software developers and technical managers will gain insights into how these technologies influence application development and architecture. While the examples focus on Azure, the principles of load balancing discussed are applicable across various cloud providers such as AWS, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean, and IBM Cloud.
Key topics covered include:
- Understanding the significance of application delivery and load balancing.
- Exploring Azure’s managed load balancing capabilities.
- Implementing NGINX OSS and NGINX Plus on Azure.
- Comparing features and synergies between Azure-managed solutions and NGINX.
- Utilizing Azure Front Door for global web traffic routing management.
- Monitoring application performance with Azure and NGINX tools and plugins.
- Enhancing security using NGINX and Azure Firewall solutions.
