Configuring Load Balancing using NGINX - US/UK Virtual

Description

Configuring Load Balancing using NGINX is a hands-on exploration of NGINX HTTP and TCP/UDP load balancing.

The course 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.
