Scale your application to new heights with NGINX and AWS
- 1. Scale your application to new heights with NGINX and AWS
- 2. Scale your application to new heights with NGINX and AWS by replacing your hardware based load balancer Damian Curry April 22, 2019
- 3. Agenda • Introduction • Industry trends accelerating Digital Transformation • Challenges with hardware based Load Balancers • Achieving Cloud scalability with NGINX Plus and AWS • Summary
- 4. About NGINX, Inc. • Founded in 2011, NGINX Plus first released in 2013 • VC-backed industry leaders like NEA and Goldman Sachs • Offices in SF, Japan, London, Cork, Sydney, Singapore and Moscow • 1,600+ commercial customers • 250+ employees 4
- 5. Age of Digital Transformation . . . To the new world Three-tier, monolithic apps Heavyweight (HTML, SOAP) Inflexible deployments (hardware) Fixed, static Infrastructure Big-bang releases Siloed culture (Dev, Test, Ops) Microservices, cloud Lightweight (REST, APIs) Flexible deployments (containers, VMs) Software-defined, cloud infrastructure Continuous delivery DevOps culture 5 From the old world . . .
- 6. Challenges with Hardware based Load Balancers 6 Cloud Adoption • Can't take hardware to cloud! • Don't want to cannibalize hardware sales Suitability for Microservices • Heavyweight, not portable • No container option DevOps • Manual process for simple deployment changes • Takes weeks to resolve IT tickets to get a simple application update deployed Control Shifting from I&O to Apps • Load balancing is centralized • Infrastructure shared across multiple applications or customers
- 7. What are NGINX users saying? 18 “As we moved to microservices we’ve realized that we needed a much smarter way of routing pages to our applications...We realized that NGINX Plus, with its better support, with its DNS resolving, and the advanced metrics that we get now is the way forward. NGINX Plus allowed us to get to the final mile.” – John Cleveley, Senior Engineering Manager, Buzzfeed “It takes 2 weeks to get an F5 modification from the networking team. You know how long it takes us to change NGINX? It takes 30 seconds to make the change in GitHub, and then we run the Ansible script. Ta-da, production.” – Engineer at large telco company “We need to manage applications on top of any infrastructure platform, including AWS, Microsoft Azure, and other cloud platform providers. NGINX Plus provides us the flexibility to deliver applications across different infrastructure options.” – Nate Johnson, CEO and Founder at Reliam

- 11. NGINX Plus and Amazon Load Balancers
- 12. When to use AWS Load Balancers? • Use Amazon Network Load Balancer for: • Basic TCP or HTTP load balancing to multiple NGINX Plus instances or target application. • High-availability load balancing across multiple availability zones • Auto scaling NGINX Plus instances and backend servers • Use Amazon Application Load Balancer for: • Simple Layer 7 routing (path and host) • Integration with other AWS Services such as ECS
- 13. When to use NGINX Plus Load Balancers? Use NGINX Plus for: • Advanced Layer 7 routing (e.g. path-based routing) • Improving overall performance with content caching • Improving SSL/TLS performance with elliptic curve cryptography(ECC) • WebSocket and HTTP/2 proxying • Full GRPC load balancing support • Advanced HTTP health checks • SSO and API authentication with JWT • Multiple licensing options, including hourly via the AWS marketplace or yearly direct from NGINX
- 14. NGINX Plus and Amazon Route 53 GSLB (Global Load Balancing) • Can be configured for either Active/Active or Active/Passive HA solutions • Provides geographic based routing for best end user experience • Can be used with or without Amazon Elastic Load Balancers
- 15. NGINX and Amazon Auto Scaling Groups • Standard architecture when using NGINX OSS or Plus • Amazon Classic or Network Load Balancer sits in front of auto scaling group • NGINX Plus utilizes resolver functionality
- 16. • Leverages the NGINX Plus dynamic reconfiguration API • Requires nginx-asg-sync integration software • Allows NGINX Plus to load balance the application servers directly, no need for Amazon Classic Load Balancer • Supports integration for Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling Groups, Amazon ECS and standard Amazon EC2 instances NGINX Plus and Amazon Auto Scaling Groups
- 17. NGINX Plus and Amazon Route 53 Service Discovery Functionality • Leverages the NGINX Plus resolver functionality • Nodes auto register instance information with Route 53 • NGINX Plus will re-check with Route 53 on a set interval • Allows NGINX Plus to load balance the application servers directly, without needing an Amazon Classic Load Balancer
- 18. NGINX Plus and AWS PrivateLink • AWS PrivateLink provides private connectivity between VPC’s, AWS services and on-premises applications, securely on the AWS network. • Traffic stays on the private AWS network and does not traverse the public internet. • NGINX Plus supports AWS PrivateLink.
