Deploying NGINX Plus & Kubernetes on Google Cloud Platform

Building a great applicationis only half the battle, delivering the application is the other half.

3

The modern web requires a new approach to application delivery.

Monoliths vs. Microservices

5

The Monolithic Architecture• To scale, you must scale the entire

monolith• All services are written in the same

language using the same framework• Changing one service means rebuilding,

retesting, and redeploying the entire monolith

• Multiple changes at once – argh!• Release cycles tend to be long

8

The Microservices Architecture• Enables continuous delivery, rapid

deployment, and elasticity• You can scale each service independently• Services can be written in different

languages using different frameworks• Each service can be changed, tested, and

built independently• Release cycles can be dramatically

shortened

NGINX Plus with Microservices

• Fit together naturally and are easily integrated with container environments and DevOps tools

• Run NGINX Plus inside or outside the microservices environment

• NGINX Plus provides a single, stable entry point while containers are deployed and destroyed behind it

02 Load balancing Kubernetes with NGINX Plus

What is Kubernetes?

Greek for “Helmsman”; also the root of the word “Governor”

• Container orchestrator • Runs containers• Supports multiple cloud and bare-metal

environments• Inspired and informed by Google’s

experiences and internal systems• Open source, written in Go• kubernetes.io
