Introduction to NGINX

О курсе

Nginx has become the backbone of modern web infrastructure, known for its high performance, scalability, and flexibility. Its event-driven architecture delivers high performance at scale, making it the go-to choice for web servers, reverse proxies, and load balancers across organizations of every size. Whether you're a web developer, system administrator, or DevOps engineer, understanding Nginx is crucial for building fast, secure, and reliable web applications. This course takes you from the ground up. You'll start with how web servers work and what makes NGINX's architecture fundamentally different from traditional thread-based servers. From there, you'll install NGINX on a Linux system, explore its directory structure and core configuration files, and deploy your first live website through a hands-on lab. You'll then move into intermediate configuration — setting up virtual servers to host multiple sites, implementing URL redirect and rewrite rules, and learning how regex applies to routing logic. The course closes with load balancing and reverse proxy configuration: you'll implement Round Robin and Least Connections algorithms across backend server pools and configure NGINX to securely mask and forward client requests to upstream services. Every module includes demonstration videos, hands-on labs, role play scenarios, and graded assignments — so you're configuring real NGINX environments, not just watching. Who this is for: Linux system administrators, DevOps engineers, web developers, and IT professionals who want a practical, foundational understanding of NGINX with hands-on lab experience. Basic Linux command-line experience is required.
