WEBVTT 00:00.170 --> 00:05.090 Hey everyone and thanks for subscribing to the Nginx beginner to advanced video course. 00:05.310 --> 00:08.750 Am ZIEL and I'm going to be your instructor throughout the course. 00:08.990 --> 00:16.940 Now this course is specifically designed from scratch for individuals who wants to learn nginx from 00:16.940 --> 00:17.800 beginning. 00:17.810 --> 00:23.750 Now do remember that Nginx is more than just a web server now. 00:23.750 --> 00:27.710 It provides a lot of additional capabilities other than web server. 00:27.710 --> 00:32.450 So some of these capabilities includes reverse proxy load balancers. 00:32.450 --> 00:37.520 You have web application firewall, you have caching subsystem and a lot more. 00:37.520 --> 00:43.940 So typically when you go ahead and install Nginx within the production environment, some organization 00:43.940 --> 00:48.950 might be using it for reverse proxying, some organization might be using it for load balancing and 00:48.950 --> 00:49.970 various others. 00:49.970 --> 00:56.630 So throughout the course, not only our focus is to learn the Nginx and the web server functionality, 00:56.630 --> 01:03.650 but also various other important functionality like reverse proxying, load balancing and others. 01:03.650 --> 01:06.680 So let's look into the course structure. 01:06.860 --> 01:15.230 Now we will be making use of all the latest technology so that you will be ready to work with Nginx 01:15.230 --> 01:16.820 in production environments. 01:16.850 --> 01:23.630 Now Dockers will be used quite extensively throughout the course, so I'll be using Dockers quite extensively. 01:23.630 --> 01:32.540 So we'll explore both the methods of installing Nginx in a regular server as well as installing Nginx 01:32.540 --> 01:34.220 within the Docker environments. 01:34.220 --> 01:41.150 So generally nowadays if you go into the organizations, Docker is one of the technology which is extensively 01:41.150 --> 01:46.400 used and they also configure Nginx within the Docker environments. 01:46.400 --> 01:51.890 So it is important for us to know the Docker based approach as well. 01:51.980 --> 01:59.210 So speaking about the course structure, since this is the course which is specifically designed from 01:59.210 --> 02:04.230 scratch, the section one is dedicated for the Http protocol. 02:04.230 --> 02:12.870 Now, since Nginx is a web server and web server primarily works based on Http, so understanding Http 02:12.870 --> 02:17.070 protocol is a must if you want to understand nginx. 02:17.070 --> 02:21.990 So we discussed in detail about the Http protocol in section one. 02:21.990 --> 02:29.280 Once we understand Http protocol within section two, we start with setting up labs where we go ahead 02:29.280 --> 02:35.520 and install Nginx both within the Linux based servers as well as Docker containers. 02:35.520 --> 02:41.550 Now once we go ahead and install Nginx, we start with the Nginx architecture. 02:41.580 --> 02:48.090 Now once we understand the basic Nginx architecture and how things work there, we go ahead and understand 02:48.120 --> 02:52.380 some of the important functionalities of Nginx, which is reverse proxy. 02:52.380 --> 02:56.280 In section four, you have load balancers in section five. 02:56.310 --> 03:05.040 We also discuss about the caching subsystem, the access control, logging subsystem, and once our 03:05.040 --> 03:11.940 base is covered, then we go ahead and discuss about the modular architecture of Nginx, where we go 03:11.940 --> 03:20.130 ahead and do a lot of compilation building modules and other things, and also discuss in detail about 03:20.130 --> 03:23.100 the cryptographic module where we discuss about the SSL. 03:23.130 --> 03:28.770 TLS So generally nowadays you find that there are a lot of websites which are based on Https. 03:28.770 --> 03:33.030 So all of those things we discussed in the cryptography module. 03:33.030 --> 03:38.880 Now one important part to remember is that within the Http protocol there are a lot of demos that I'll 03:38.880 --> 03:39.630 be showing. 03:39.630 --> 03:46.350 So within the demo there is one specific website, which is Dexter Labs in which I'll be using. 03:46.350 --> 03:52.920 So I have kept that website open so that even you will be able to do the practical that is being shown 03:52.920 --> 03:54.420 within the Section one. 03:54.660 --> 04:00.570 So that's the high level overview about what is about to come throughout the course. 04:00.570 --> 04:07.050 Now I'm very confident that if you complete the course and you do all the practicals, you will be ready 04:07.050 --> 04:12.360 to deploy, configure and manage Nginx within your production environments. 04:12.360 --> 04:14.850 So with this, we'll conclude this video. 04:14.880 --> 04:19.350 I hope this video has been informative for you and I look forward to see you in the next video.
