What is NGINXaaS?

With Azure Native Integrations, you can easily provision, manage, and tightly integrate software and services from software development companies on Azure.

Microsoft and F5 developed the NGINXaaS Cloud-Native Observability Platform and manage it together. NGINX owns and runs the software as a service (SaaS) application including the NGINX accounts created. You can set up the NGINXaaS resources through a resource provider named Nginx.NginxPlus. You can create and manage NGINXaaS resources through the Azure portal.

NGINXaaS delivers secure and high performance applications using familiar and trusted load balancing solutions. Use NGINXaaS as a reverse proxy within your Azure environment. You can implement NGINXaaS as a monitoring solution for your cloud workloads through a streamlined workflow.

You can find the NGINXaaS Cloud-Native Observability Platform in the Azure portal or get it on Azure Marketplace. The NGINXaaS offering in Azure Marketplace allows you to manage NGINX in the Azure portal as an integrated service.
