NGINX Integration with Cloud Autoscaling

NGINX Integration with Cloud Autoscaling is a Linux software product for connecting NGINX Plus with instances managed by a cloud scaling group. It is designed for administrators who run NGINX Plus while using cloud infrastructure that can add or remove virtual machines. The product is listed in the Productivity category because it supports the operational task of keeping NGINX Plus aware of changing instance groups.

The underlying nginx-asg-sync tool lets NGINX Plus discover virtual machine instances that belong to a scaling group. It supports AWS Auto Scaling groups and Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets. When the number of instances changes, the tool adds new instances to the NGINX Plus configuration. It also removes instances that have been terminated from that configuration.

This behavior connects the software to environments where the membership of a cloud-based group is not fixed. On Linux, it provides a platform-specific way to use this integration with NGINX Plus. Its function is focused on instance discovery and configuration updates rather than on general cloud management.

The software is open-source, so it is distributed under an open-source license rather than as a proprietary-only product. MirrorNest mirrors the official build directly onto its own storage for catalog distribution. Before publishing the mirrored build, MirrorNest scans it for malware.
