SDT details

Configuring Load Balancing using NGINX is a hands-on exploration of NGINX HTTP and TCP/UDP load balancing. Configuring Load Balancing using NGINX begins with a general review of load balancing, and an introduction to load balancer configuration, selection algorithms, and weighting in NGINX. After you configure an upstream, you explore options for session persistence and enable extended status / live activity monitoring. You implement TCP/UDP load balancing with active health checks, and configure routing and IP sourcing. We demonstrate a highly available (HA) NGINX systems in case of node failure. By the end of the class, you will be able to deploy a high performing (ADC) application delivery controller using NGINX Plus and its features.

Audience

This course is intended for systems administrators or systems operators who will have responsibility for the management and ongoing operations of NGINX Open Source and/or NGINX Plus systems providing secured Web services.


This course presents the foundational understanding of NGINX systems for those continuing on to other NGINX-based services such as NGINX Caching, NGINX Load Balancer etc.

  • Load Balancing Review and Scenarios
  • NGINX HTTP Load Balancing
  • Session Persistence Methods
  • NGINX Load Balancing with Session Persistence
  • NGINX TCP & UDP Load Balancing
  • High Availability

  • HTTP load balancing to backend servers
  • Load balancing migration scenarios
  • Configuring and testing the backup parameter
  • Using the NGINX live activity monitoring dashboard to monitor HTTP and TCP backend servers
  • Session persistence methods
  • TCP load balancing
  • Active health checks
  • High Availability (HA) scenarios

    • Prior Knowledge

    Before taking this course, make sure you have completed one of the following:

  • Administering NGINX for Web Services (ILT)
  • Administering NGINX for Web Services (SDT)


    • The course assumes a basic understanding of networking, web servers, HTTP, load balancing, caching, proxying, and related concepts.Hands on labs are performed in a Linux environment. You will need to be able to navigate the file system from the command line and edit configuration files using VI/VIM. Additional experience with Linux environments will be helpful.
