Bringing Kubernetes to the Edge with NGINX Plus

Containers are being used to package and distribute modern web applications at a whole new scale. Kubernetes, the container cluster manager from Google, provides a way to deploy, manage and scale these application containers, while providing rich features such as automated service discovery and self-healing. But how do you expose your applications running in Kubernetes to the world in a way that works across cloud and bare-metal environments?

The answer is NGINX Plus.

In this session you will learn how NGINX Plus can be used to provide robust load balancing across a Kubernetes cluster while leveraging deep integration with the Kubernetes API and built-in service discovery mechanisms. We might even open source a new plugin to make it happen.
