We’re excited to announce that you can now purchase the NGINX Plus-based version of NGINX Ingress Controller, with and without NGINX App Protect, directly from AWS Marketplace for Containers. With this addition to the marketplace, we continue to strengthen our partnership with AWS, enabling you to deliver high‑performance, cloud‑native apps with ease.
NGINX offers two options for making your Kubernetes deployment production‑grade:
- Option 1: NGINX Ingress Controller – The first step towards making Kubernetes production‑grade is the addition of an Ingress controller that increases resiliency, enable rapid scalability, and support self‑service. Try free for 30 days.
- Option 2: NGINX Ingress Controller with NGINX App Protect – As your Kubernetes apps mature, you’ll need to enhance security to reduce the risk of breaches and single points of failure. The deployment of a flexible web application firewall (WAF) at the point of Ingress moves the WAF closer to your Kubernetes apps and eliminates the need for a separate WAF device. Try free for 30 days.
Check out this episode of AWS’s This is My Architecture video series to learn how NGINX Ingress Controller routes and protects traffic with the Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), as well as how to use Infrastructure-as-Code with the Elastic Container Registry (ECR) to build an automated pipeline for application deployment and versioning.
