AWS Auto Scaling vs. NGINX Plus

It is well suited for scaling up our cloud virtual machines to handle the increase or decrease in workload. It really helps us to satisfy the demand because it doesn't take lot of time to spin up new machines. If there is unpredictability in the demand it is very useful. But it is a over kill if demand is consistent.

Makes our life easy as application admins in securing our applications and making them accessible. We can easily add an application within a few minutes and define the backend servers right away.

• Set policies to add more instances when CPU utilization exceeds.
• Prevents downtime, as we don't need to stop the servers.
• Auto Scaling group can be setup for different types of apps.

No reason not to renew it, we are happy with it.

We use AWS auto scaling for scaling up our cloud virtual machines to handle the increase or decrease in workload. It really helps us to satisfy the demand because it doesn't take lot of time to spin up new machines. I gave the rating 10 because it really does help you to handle the sudden spike in number of requests.

Very easy to use

We had an issue after upgrading from RHEL 7 to 8, and there were some issues that the security team imposed upon the platform with a scanning tool. We also had a VXLAN environment that was not properly sending a gratuitous arp to the network. NGINX support was instrumental to speedily resolving our issue.

Incentivized

Used for the below reasons:

• Easy to implement and use
• Pay per use, cost savings
• Automate and build scaling plans
• Automate performance and workload

Incentivized

The API and dashboard alone make NGINX Plus a better choice.

Incentivized

• optimized the cost effectiveness
• save lot of money which help the organization to use it in effective areas
• Not applicable for all use cases.It is specific use cases and business problems

• We are planning by using NGINX it can greatly reduce our OPEX by 50% "just our own running APIGW" the cascading effects in the long run will be much more.
