New projects further enable developers and platform ops teams to use F5 NGINX technology to deliver modern applications faster and at scale
“Over the past year we’ve provided capabilities customers rely on to deliver the next generation of compelling digital experiences, from the code the developers build to the customers who consume those experiences,” said
To enable developers and DevOps professionals to accelerate delivery of their applications, F5 will release new open source versions of leading management solutions, along with a new open source modern application reference architecture. The company also announced it will take an active role in the Kubernetes Ingress project and will join the Gateway API community.
To illustrate the power of its open source platform, F5 also unveiled Now Arriving, an interactive community experience featuring seven different immersive digital environments designed by artists and developers.
Three commitments for NGINX open source
F5 announced it will increase open source development and expand engagement with the broader NGINX community to encourage more contributions. The commitments announced at Sprint 2.0 unfold across three key areas:
Partnering for the future of Kubernetes
While F5 has long been a strong supporter of Kubernetes, today the company announced it is officially joining the Kubernetes community and actively participating in the Kubernetes Ingress project founded by
“We are supporting the Ingress project to ensure it continues to thrive,” Whiteley said. “We aim to be the number one contributor to this project because we want to make sure that users can be assured that future versions of Kubernetes can continue to rely on NGINX.”
F5 also announced it is joining the Gateway API community and will be lending its experience and history to help evolve the standard. F5 is committed to implementing its own gateway controller based on NGINX to ensure that NGINX and Kubernetes remain tightly aligned in the future.
To help accelerate innovation, the company also announced an industry effort to create a working microservices-based application that development teams can get up and running in minutes. The new framework takes a modular approach that includes a code repository, CI/CD tools, automation, networking, login, security, monitoring and more — all pre-integrated so that developers can get started quickly. F5 will continue to enhance this project with more choice in various modules, and asks that the open source community join in bringing this reference architecture to life. The new project is accessible now on GitHub.
NGINX Now Arriving Experience
Now Arriving is an immersive digital-physical experience created inside of a modified shipping container at The NGINX Hangar, a top-secret location in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood.
“After such a challenging year, we wanted to contribute something that helps bring light back to the community,” Whiteley said. “The NGINX Now Arriving experience is intended to inspire and energize by transporting participants through different worlds while showcasing what’s possible with open source technology.”
The experience uses projectors, digital media, an interactive app and NGINX Open Source. The company asks that other community members join the project by viewing it in
Customer presentations, demos and hands-on workshops to enhance developers’ skills
In its second iteration, NGINX Sprint is an ideal opportunity for NGINX developers to build skills and get a better understanding of how to work with the world’s leading development platform.
In addition to keynotes from F5 leaders and customers, day one of Sprint 2.0 features conversations with Audi’s
On days two and three, F5 will offer a series of demonstrations and hands on workshops to enhance developer skills and help teams get the most out of the variety of NGINX tools and technologies.
