Overview
NGINXaaS is a service offering that is tightly integrated into your cloud platform and its ecosystem, making applications fast, efficient, and reliable with full lifecycle management of advanced NGINX traffic services.
NGINXaaS is powered by NGINX Plus, which extends NGINX Open Source with advanced functionality and provides customers with a complete application delivery solution. NGINXaaS handles the NGINX Plus license management automatically.
The key capabilities of NGINXaaS are:
- Simplifies onboarding by providing a fully managed, ready-to-use NGINX service, eliminating the need for infrastructure setup, manual upgrades, or operational overhead.
- Lowers operational overhead in running and optimizing NGINX.
- Simplifies NGINX deployments with fewer moving parts (edge routing is built into the service).
- Supports migration of existing NGINX configurations to the cloud with minimal effort.
- Integrates with your cloud provider’s ecosystem.
- Adopts a consumption-based pricing model to align infrastructure costs to actual usage.
- NGINXaaS is used to create, update, and delete NGINX configurations, certificates, and deployments.
- NGINXaaS automatically adapts to application traffic demands through autoscaling.
- Each NGINXaaS deployment has dedicated network and compute resources. There is no possibility of noisy neighbor problems or data leakage between deployments.
- NGINXaaS can route traffic to upstreams even if the upstream servers are located in different geographies.
- NGINXaaS supports request tracing. See the Application Performance Management with NGINX Variables blog to learn more about tracing.
- Supports HTTP to HTTPS, HTTPS to HTTP, and HTTP to HTTP redirects. NGINXaaS also provides the ability to create new rules for redirecting. See How to Create NGINX Rewrite Rules for more details.
