NGINX Blog NGINX Ingress Controller turns Kubernetes resources into NGINX configuration. Many of those inputs are free-form text: snippet annotations on Ingresses, snippets on VirtualServers, and in the global ConfigMap. A typo in any of them can produce configuration that NGINX refuses to…
NGINX Blog If you run a platform with a dozen or more services behind it, you’ve probably seen this pattern. Service A checks an API key. Service B calls out to your identity provider directly. Service C has a half-finished authentication middleware that hasn’t been touched in a while.…
NGINX Blog Before the latest release, NGINX had to be controlled exclusively by Unix signals. The most notable one is SIGHUP or the well-known “nginx -s reload” command. This configuration method, while very stable, does not meet modern environment requirements: there are very few available…

NGINX Blog NGINX Ingress Controller 5.6 implements more support for configuring NGINX through resources instead of through snippets. HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) becomes a first-class policy across VirtualServer, VirtualServerRoute, and Ingress. Two new annotations close…
NGINX Blog For over two decades, NGINX has been the workhorse of the modern web. Its classic request-processing architecture—reading HTTP headers, matching a URI location path, and streaming payload data to backend services—built the foundation of modern web traffic management. However, the…
NGINX Blog NGINX 1.31.4 is an incremental release focused on the protocols we all depend on. Backends behind a stream or mail proxy can now see a client’s TLS details alongside its address thanks to PROXY protocol v2, HTTP/2 and gRPC requests to your upstreams follow the standards more…
