Description:

Modern day applications bring modern day infrastructure requirements. Whether you bring your own or you use your cloud provider's managed load-balancing services, even moderately sophisticated applications are likely to find their needs underserved. Common needs include:

• SSL termination
• Websocket support
• Dynamic reconfiguration
• Geo-distributed load balancing
• Facilitation of different deployment strategies

In this webcast, we'll examine the load-balancing capabilities of different public clouds and container platforms and walk through a case study involving a bloat-a-lith - an overstuffed monolithic application. We'll look at how it was broken into smaller, independent services and how capabilities of NGINX and Kubernetes came to its rescue.
