In a CNCF survey, nearly two-thirds of respondents reported using the NGINX Ingress Controller (more than all other controllers combined) and NGINX Ingress Controller has been downloaded more than 2 million times per day on DockerHub. Combining the speed and performance of NGINX with the trust and security behind the power of F5, NGINX Ingress Controller is synonymous with high-performing, scalable, and secure modern apps in production. This is the official implementation of NGINX Ingress Controller (based on NGINX Plus) from NGINX. It is high-performance, production-ready, and suitable for long-term deployment. We focus on providing stability across releases, with features that can be deployed at enterprise scale. Included in this subscription is NGINX's award-winning support.
