Course Overview
NGINX Load Balancing is a 4-hour class for system administrators, DevOps, and architects who need a deeper understanding of NGINX load balancing.
NGINX Load Balancing begins with a general review of load balancing. You'll cover load balancer configuration, selection algorithms, and weighting. The follow up activities include: configuring an upstream, session persistence, and enabling extended status / live activity monitoring. The class also covers TCP/UDP load balancing, with active health checks and configuration of routing and IP sourcing. We demonstrate a highly available (HA) NGINX systems in case of node failure. The objective of this class is to enable you to deploy a high performing (ADC) application delivery controller using NGINX Plus and its features.
NGINX Load Balancing is intended for system admins, DevOps, and architects who need a deeper understanding of NGINX load balancing.
