Build a microservices architecture with a DevOps-friendly ADC
Business agility requires an IT infrastructure that can respond to market changes quickly. You need to be able to transform your monolithic apps into containerized apps, ship code faster, migrate from a single data center to a multi-cloud environment. And your DevOps team needs the right tools and solutions to help make this happen. A cloud-native, DevOps-friendly ADC in a Docker container is the simplest way to get you started toward building a microservices architecture.

Acting as an app-to-app proxy, NetScaler CPX runs on every host as a control point for all microservices, providing full Layer 4 to Layer 7 services, including rate limiting, DDoS protection, content switching, and SSL offload. App developers using Docker containers can deploy the same NetScaler load balancing capabilities that are running in their data center to their microservices architectures to handle all traffic, maintaining consistency across environments.
When used with the NetScaler Management and Analytics System (MAS), CPX can integrate with container orchestration tools, including Apache Mesos and Kubernetes, to implement centralized policy controls and orchestration, and to provide deep telemetry for insight into network and application performance.
NetScaler CPX can run on a laptop in a Docker container. Developers can easily program NetScaler configurations that can be deployed with confidence from development to production. Apps can be tested with validated load balancing configurations during development, then pushed across testing and production environments, shortening the entire development-to-production cycle.
Agile infrastructures often include workloads that can be run either on-premise or in multi-cloud environments. NetScaler CPX is portable across Linux hosts, easing deployment across these types of computing environments. And NetScaler MAS simplifies the management of a fleet of CPX appliances regardless of where they are deployed, providing SSL certificate management and immediate visibility to the health of the microservices infrastructure.
NetScaler CPX leverages the service discovery capabilities of NetScaler MAS to learn about changes in the microservices architecture and automatically update the CPX configurations to adapt to these changes. It detects when containerized apps are added or deleted, and ensures that traffic is directed to the right microservice resource.
