Description:

Microservices, containers, and cloud are on everyone's mind these days. But it requires a fundamentally new approach to build high-performance applications that scale, can be deployed quickly, and are secure. To meet customer demands, organizations are adopting new development and deployment patterns that are enabling agility and flexibility.

Organizations that want to succeed must adopt a new set of priorities: speed of innovation, providing an always-available service, scaling to meet customer demand, and focusing on the mobile-centric user experience. Moving applications to the cloud – private, public, or the increasingly popular hybrid cloud – provides a framework for application success. However, making the journey to cloud-native requires thoughtful planning, organizational support, and software-based solutions, like NGINX, for flawless application delivery.

Join us in this webcast to learn:

  • How your organization can benefit from a cloud architecture
  • What organizational and cultural changes are required
  • Tips and tricks for flawless application delivery in the cloud with NGINX
