Advanced Kubernetes Deployment Strategies

IBM’s 2021 ‘Microservices in the Enterprise’ survey found that 87% of microservices adopters agree that microservices adoption is worth the expense and effort. Credited with improving agility and enabling businesses to pivot and address the changing demands of their customer base - a crucial asset in the pandemic world - microservices are increasingly at the heart of success in the digital economy.  

Yet despite the rising popularity of microservices, some organizations worry about how to get the process right. From managing potential security risks to understanding how best to navigate the complexity and potential rising costs that a long-term commitment to microservices might present, it’s understandable why running a microservices-driven architecture can seem so daunting.  

In episode 1 of NGINX’s ‘Mastering App Modernization’ series, host Steve Pereira and guests are here to take away any confusion by answering common questions about how companies can utilize microservices to streamline application management and make it easier for IT teams to collaborate. 

Along with reviewing best practices for microservices and delving deeper into how organisations can incorporate microservices into their current application development strategy, they’ll be sharing:
- The broader business benefits microservices can realize
- How microserves can benefit both the experience of DevOps teams and the end user
- How a microservice architecture can improve workflows and productivity compared to centralized applications
- Security best practices for microservices and the importance of ‘security by design’ 
- Common concerns and challenges faced when adopting microservices, and strategies for overcoming them
- And more

Microservices Made Easy: Realizing Business Value with Microservices

Research from F5 Labs found that API security incidents in the first half of 2020 exceeded the number of incidents from the previous two years combined. A significant challenge facing DevOps teams is that there are many areas of weakness around API security, especially around authentication in front of API endpoints, broken authentication, and broken authorization. Having the right identity and access management (IAM) solution is one thing, configuring and deploying it properly is, obviously, crucial. In this episode, we will show how NGINX interacts with Okta, one of the leading IAM solutions in the market.

Key Takeaways:
- Demonstrate OAuth 2.0 JWT validation with Okta (with PKCE)
- Demonstrate rate-limiting configuration per user
- Demonstrate authorization based on group claim information
- Okta specific feature that works with NGINX Plus

It’s no secret that developers, architects, and DevOps engineers are tired of the stress and hassles of legacy application architectures, particularly after working in the landscape of the last two years. With NGINX increasingly hearing that application teams want to create ‘modern apps’ - ones that embrace containers, APIs, and truly distributed computing - in order for businesses to thrive in 2022 and beyond, it’s crucial that businesses create environments where their dev and ops teams are empowered to create genuinely modern apps that move at faster-than-human speed.
 
It’s easy enough for an organization to say that they will do this, but it’s also essential that businesses fully understand what defines a modern app, and how they can enable often siloed teams to work together to make delivering these apps a reality. 
 
In episode 6 of NGINX’s ‘Mastering App Modernization’ series, host Steve Pereira and guests are sharing how. They’ll be looking at how businesses can enable their Dev and DevOps teams - as well as NetOps and PlatformsOps - to build and deliver scalable, secure, reslient - and modern - apps. 
 
Join them to hear:
- What defines a modern app in 2022
- Why Dev and DevOps teams need to understand that modern apps are a combination of a checklist and a state of mind
- The six architecture principles that modern apps employ 
- How developers and DevOps teams can practice secure development 
- Organizational and cultural considerations that teams need to be aware of that will enable them to build applications that works for users, developers and stakeholders
- And more

Making Modern Apps: Extending App Delivery to Dev & DevOps Teams

A common non-functional requirement that gets built into apps and services is authentication and authorization. On a small scale, this practice adds a manageable amount of complexity that’s acceptable when the app doesn’t require frequent updates. But with faster release velocities at larger scale, integrating authentication and authorization into your apps becomes untenable. 

In this video, Technical Marketing Engineer Amir Rawdat shares how you can offload this functionality to an Ingress controller to achieve better security and more efficient use of resources.

Authorization and Authentication for Kubernetes Apps

You work in IT for a popular local store that sells a variety of goods, from pillows to bicycles. They're about to launch their first online store, but before launch they've asked a security expert to pen test the site before it goes public. Unfortunately, the security expert found a problem! The online store is vulnerable to SQL injection. The security expert was able to exploit the site to obtain sensitive information from your database, including user names and passwords!

Your team has come to you - the Kubernetes engineer - to save the day. Luckily, you know that SQL injection - as well as other vulnerabilities - can be mitigated using Kubernetes traffic management tools. You already deployed an Ingress controller to expose the app, and in a single configuration you're able to ensure this vulnerability can't be exploited. Now the online store can launch on time. Well done!

In this lab you will:
◆ Exploit an application vulnerable to SQL injection
◆ Use an NGINX sidecar container to block certain requests
◆ Configure NGINX Ingress Controller to filter requests

Technologies Used:
◆ NGINX Ingress Controller: https://bit.ly/3vpPkRw
◆ NGINX Open Source: https://nginx.org/
◆ Helm: https://helm.sh"

Protect Kubernetes Apps from SQL Injection

While the benefits of Kubernetes are many and include:
• Continuous container health checks
• Handling of varied storage types for container data
• And the ability to manage passwords, tokens, and SSH keys, 

deployment—especially for more advanced use cases—is often not as straightforward as one hopes. Often, IT pros benefit from well-documented approaches or best practices to assist in deployment.

Join the experts from Learnk8s and NGINX in this webinar to learn several advanced Kubernetes deployment strategies that you can immediately apply in your organization. The session covers advanced traffic management use cases including zero downtime deployments, traffic splitting (at the Ingress controller and service mesh), tracing, and mapping traffic flow in real-time.

Learnk8s expert demos 4 Kubernetes deployment approaches

With more and more organizations conducting business with their customers online, web applications remain the top attack target for cybercriminals. It’s easy to see why – they are often complex, composed of microservices, and spanning distributed environments, increasing the number of endpoints vulnerable to exploitation. It is no surprise that OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities such as SQL injection and cross‑site scripting (XSS) remain popular cyberattacks. You need to strengthen security for your containerized apps deployed in Kubernetes by adding a WAF to NGINX Ingress Controller.

In this webinar we look at the cost of a typical application hack and why traditional WAFs don’t work for today’s modern applications. We conclude with a demo that showcases how by combining NGINX Ingress Controller with NGINX App Protect WAF you can protect your apps against common vulnerabilities, create granular policies for app services, and make your Kubernetes clusters a safer place to run your apps.

Your organization built an app in Kubernetes and now it’s getting popular! You went from just a few visitors to hundreds (and sometimes thousands) per day. But there’s a problem…the increased traffic is bottlenecking, causing latency and timeouts for your customers. If you can’t improve the experience, people will stop using the app.

In this demo, we show how to deploy an Ingress controller to route the traffic and set up an autoscale policy so that the number of Ingress controller pods instantly expands and contracts to match traffic fluctuations. The Ingress controller pods seamlessly handle the traffic surges - "Goodbye, latency!", and when traffic decreases the pods scale down to conserve resources - "Hello, cost savings!"
