F5 NGINXaaS for Google Cloud addresses the complexity of delivering modern applications by consolidating load balancing, security, and observability into a unified, managed service. Available in the Google Cloud Marketplace, it extends the F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP) to help enterprises eliminate tool sprawl, simplify operations, and reduce costs, particularly for dynamic, containerized, and AI-powered workloads where default tools often fall short.
The solution dramatically improves application performance through intelligent traffic management that optimizes workload distribution across Layer 4 and Layer 7. By automating workflows and reducing operational complexity, IT teams can focus more on innovation. Deep programmability via the NGINX JavaScript module and seamless CI/CD integration provide the flexibility to implement unique business logic and streamline application rollouts, ensuring updates can occur without downtime.
F5 NGINXaaS for Google Cloud enables reliability and agility at scale, helping eliminate bottlenecks with intelligent load balancing and non-disruptive reconfigurations. Access to over 200 real-time metrics and native integrations with Google Cloud's observability tools enhance visibility and simplify troubleshooting. For security, the solution provides robust protection for APIs and microservices with end-to-end encryption, JWT, OIDC, role-based access control, and features like rate limiting and circuit breaking to safeguard against traffic-based disruptions.
This collaboration represents a strategic move to empower organizations with greater control and simplified management in hybrid and multicloud environments. “F5 NGINXaaS for Google Cloud combines enhanced visibility with consistent, dynamic performance, empowering organizations to take full control of their cloud app environments while minimizing operational complexity,” said John Maddison, Chief Marketing Officer at F5.
