    Nginx Intro

    The Nginx Administration course deals with the management of the Nginx web server. In the first place the modular architecture of Nginx is discussed and how other modules can be activated in addition to the base modules. The various installation options of Nginx are treated as well.

    Nginx Configuration

    Next the configuration of Nginx is explained with the various configuration directives and configuration files. Attention is paid to the configuration of logging, virtual hosting, setting up error pages and the configuration of routing and URL rewriting.

    Nginx as Reverse Proxy

    The course also explains how to configure Nginx as a reverse proxy, where the reverse proxy forwards the original client request to the correct backend server. Redirects and Web Socket connections are also treated. And also the monitoring of Nginx is discussed.

    Load Balancing

    Another topic in the course is how a cluster with different Nginx instances can be configured and how traffic can be forwarded to underlying Nginx applications by means of load balancing.

    Caching

    Nginx has many options for caching with which major performance improvements can be realized. The various caching configurations are discussed with scalable content caching, caching zones, caching hash key and Vary header.

    Security

    Finally the course ends with a discussion of the security configuration in Nginx. Access control with Basic Authentication and JSON Web Tokens, encryption and the use of ModSecurity are treated.
