LEARN NGINX: Master Web Servers, Load Balancers, and Integrations in Modern Environments
About this ebook
This book is intended for students, professionals, and specialists seeking practical mastery in web servers, reverse proxy, load balancing, deployment automation, and application integration with NGINX in corporate, cloud, container, and multi-platform environments. The content covers everything from installation, detailed nginx.conf configuration, and virtual host management to advanced integration with Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring with Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack, and automation of corporate routines.
Learn to implement reverse proxy, optimize high performance, apply security with WAF, authentication, headers, SSL/TLS, hardening, and create secure integrations with Node.js, Python, PHP, Java, databases, S3, and cloud services. Explore automated deployment routines, backup, advanced logs, dashboards, troubleshooting, and orchestration of high-availability enterprise environments.
You will learn:
• Install, configure, and scale NGINX on cloud, containers, Linux, and Windows
• Manage nginx.conf, virtual hosts, multiple sites, and SSL/TLS certificates
• Implement reverse proxy, load balancing, tuning, and high performance
• Integrate NGINX with Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack
• Automate deployments, backup routines, monitoring, and troubleshooting
• Protect applications with WAF, authentication, headers, firewall, hardening
• Integrate Node.js, Python, PHP, Java applications, databases, S3, and cloud
• Orchestrate enterprise environments with multi-cloud, edge, and high availability
By the end, you will be able to apply NGINX for automation, performance, integration, and security in web projects, APIs, and corporate environments.
