What you’ll learn
- Layer 7 Load Balancing between microservices
- Layer 4 Load Balancing between microservices
- Setup NginX as a Web Server
- Block Undesired Requests and Re-route requests to different services
- Enable HTTPS with letsEncrypt
- Enable HTTP/2 with NginX
- Enable TLS 1.3 with NginX
Requirements

Description
NginX is an open-source web server written in C and can also be used as a reverse proxy and a load balancer.
In this course, I want to go through the following topics in NginX
- What is NginX?
- NginX Use Cases
- Layer 4 and Layer 7 Proxying in Nginx
- Example
- Install Nginx (mac)
- Nginx as a Web Server
- Static content
- Regular expression in NginX
- proxy_pass
- Nginx as a Layer 7 Proxy
- Proxy to 4 backend NodeJS services (docker)
- IP_Hash load balancing
- Split load to multiple backends (app1/app2)
- Block certain requests (/admin)
- NGINX as a Layer 4 Proxy
- Create DNS record
- Enable HTTPS on Nginx (lets encrypt)
- Enable TLS 1.3 on NginX
- Enable HTTP/2 on NginX
Who this course is for:
- Engineers who want to deploy Web Servers
- Engineers who want to understand how to enable TLS and HTTPS
- Engineers interested in Proxy technology, reverse proxy and load balancing
