F5 Certified Administrator NGINX certification now available! The F5 Certification team is thrilled to announce that the first official F5 NGINX certification is now live! Introducing the F5 Certified Administrator NGINX certification. The NGINX Certification validates a candidate's understanding of how NGINX works and their ability to perform basic functions related to the administration of NGINX acting as a web and proxy server. To achieve the F5 Certified Administrator NGINX certification, candidates must be a part of the F5 Certification program and pass all four of the following NGINX exams: NGINX Management NGINX Configuration: Knowledge NGINX Configuration: Demonstrate NGINX Troubleshooting About the NGINX certification exams: Each exam contains 30 questions and is 30 minutes long. Each exam costs $50 USD. Each exam is delivered online through Certiverse and can be taken in any order. Preparation for the NGINX Certification exams begins with the NGINX OSS Blueprint. The NGINX certification is based on NGINX Open Source Software, not NGINX+. NGINX Certification FAQs. You can register here for the F5 Certification program to schedule NGINX exams. Note*: This link takes you to a non-F5 site where you will need to establish an account login if you haven not already done so.* Go to F5 Certification Program site for additional NGINX training resources.

NGINX Microservices March 2022: Kubernetes Networking
Kubernetes operators (or aspiring operators), be sure to check out Microservices March 2022: Kubernetes Networking, a month-long free educational event by our friends at NGINX. Each week will feature a different unit with useful information for Kubernetes users of all levels (or those planning to adopt Kubernetes within the next year.) Unit 1 (March 7–11): Architecting Kubernetes Clusters for High-Traffic Websites How to route traffic to microservices deployed in Kubernetes. Unit 2 (March 14–18): Exposing APIs in Kubernetes Best practices for deploying API gateways in Kubernetes. Unit 3 (March 21–25): Microservices Security Pattern How to secure apps and APIs to be production-ready. Unit 4 (March 28–31): Advanced Kubernetes Deployment Strategies How to split traffic and use Kubernetes for shadow rollouts. Choose Your Own Adventure Microservices March includes around 16 hours of Kubernetes educational content in total, with three different way of learning: High-level livestreams: Overviews that are technical in nature, but still accessible to people who are not Kubernetes experts or in a technical role. Learning more with blogs and videos: Deeper technical knowledge for those familiar with basic traffic management concepts (for example, load balancing). Hands-on labs: Recommended for participants with some Kubernetes experience as they will be using YAML. Look for the hashtag #microservicesmarch to follow the event on social media. All content will be available on-demand beginning in April.
