open-appsec Integrations

Kubernetes (K8s) is a powerful open-source platform designed to automate the deployment, scaling, and management of applications that are containerized. By organizing containers into manageable groups, it simplifies the processes of application management and discovery. Drawing from over 15 years of experience in handling production workloads at Google, Kubernetes also incorporates the best practices and innovative ideas from the wider community. Built on the same foundational principles that enable Google to efficiently manage billions of containers weekly, it allows for scaling without necessitating an increase in operational personnel. Whether you are developing locally or operating a large-scale enterprise, Kubernetes adapts to your needs, providing reliable and seamless application delivery regardless of complexity. Moreover, being open-source, Kubernetes offers the flexibility to leverage on-premises, hybrid, or public cloud environments, facilitating easy migration of workloads to the most suitable infrastructure. This adaptability not only enhances operational efficiency but also empowers organizations to respond swiftly to changing demands in their environments.

NGINX Open Source is the web server that supports over 400 million websites globally. Built upon this foundation, NGINX Plus serves as a comprehensive software load balancer, web server, and content caching solution. By opting for NGINX Plus instead of traditional hardware load balancers, organizations can unlock innovative possibilities without being limited by their infrastructure, achieving cost savings of over 80% while maintaining high performance and functionality. It can be deployed in a variety of environments, including public and private clouds, bare metal, virtual machines, and container setups. Additionally, the integrated NGINX Plus API simplifies the execution of routine tasks, enhancing operational efficiency. For today's NetOps and DevOps teams, there is a pressing need for a self-service, API-driven platform that seamlessly integrates with CI/CD workflows, facilitating faster app deployments regardless of whether the application utilizes a hybrid or microservices architecture, which ultimately streamlines the management of the application lifecycle. In a rapidly evolving technological landscape, NGINX Plus stands out as a vital tool for maximizing agility and optimizing resource utilization.

Optimize and simplify the management of Kubernetes (north-south) network traffic to ensure reliable, consistent performance at scale, all while maintaining the speed of your applications. Employ advanced application-centric configurations by utilizing role-based access control (RBAC) alongside self-service options to establish security guardrails, allowing your teams to manage their applications with both security and agility. This approach fosters multi-tenancy and reusability while offering simpler configurations and additional benefits. With a native, type-safe, and indented configuration style, you can streamline functionalities such as circuit breaking, advanced routing, header manipulation, mTLS authentication, and WAF. Furthermore, if you're currently utilizing NGINX, the NGINX Ingress resources facilitate a seamless transition of your existing configurations from other environments, enhancing your overall operational efficiency. This not only simplifies your network management but also empowers your development teams to innovate faster.
