NGINX Plus and F5 XC Cloud (Prerequisites)

[Mostafa_Elsayed]

Hi Folks, 

As we all know nginx plus and F5 xc is current and future technologies in F5.

So, if I want to start studying/practise for two technologies, what are Prerequisites and which study map prefered to follow?

If this map from scratch it will be better. 

Thanks in advance

Great question @Mostafa_Elsayed , for Distributed Cloud this Community Learning Path: Multi-Cloud Networking is a good start

There are a number of tutorials on the NGINX YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGz_X9w9raXf748bzuGOV6XJv7q3wLxhZ

Hi @buulam,

Many thanks for your reply, is preferred to have good knowledge for ( Docker - Containers - Kubernetes - AWS K8S) before start studying XC and NGINX Plus. 

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Mostafa_Elsayed that knowledge is not required immediately but eventually you will start to work with container workloads and K8s ingress so at some point you'll need to get at least a bit familiar. Learning through using F5 Distributed Cloud and NGINX is a nice way to have context for learning!

Hi @buulam I am an intern at F5 my name is Mahek. I would like to know if this roadmap is beginner friendly?

Can you suggest some more resources to understand cloud better?

Welcome to F5 @Mahek_Harwani , hope you are enjoying your internship! This roadmap is beginner friendly but I suppose that depends on the level you are starting at. There are additional videos across the DevCentral YouTube channel as well to explore.
