We’re excited to announce F5 NGINX Gateway Fabric 2.4.0 has been released. This release represents a major milestone in the Gateway API journey, with the addition of critical production features such as TCP/UDP routing support, Rate Limiting, Session Persistence and many more. The new features will help operators more efficiently and securely deliver AI and modern applications. Summary of changes in this release 2.4.0 contains many new features […]

Gateway API is quickly becoming the standard for managing ingress traffic in Kubernetes environments. One of its key architectural decisions is the clear separation between the control plane and the data plane, which are deployed independently. This split is not just a technical detail, it has significant implications for how teams operate, scale, and secure […]

We’re pleased to announce F5 NGINX Gateway Fabric (NGF) 2.3.0, and we’re shipping it a little early, right before the holidays, for one compelling reason: to meet strong community demand for a Kubernetes Gateway API conformance-focused release. With this release, NGF is now one of only five generally available Gateway API implementations, as shown in the community’s official Gateway Controller Implementation Status. After […]

F5 NGINX Ingress Controller 5.3.0 arrives at a pivotal moment. With the Kubernetes community announcing at KubeCon North America 2025 that the community-maintained ingress-nginx project will be retired in March 2026, users everywhere are rethinking their ingress strategies. For those looking for a familiar, production-grade open source replacement, F5 NGINX Ingress Controller offers a solution maintained by the NGINX team. This release focuses on improving existing capabilities, delivering key customer-requested features, […]

The latest NGINX open source updates arrive as a pair. NGINX 1.29.3 delivers new capabilities around TLS observability, header management, and TLS handshake efficiency. NGINX 1.29.4 adds new privacy enhancements and improved security. Across the two releases, we’re focused on: Together, these updates make it easier for operators, security teams, and developers to maintain secure, efficient, and predictable infrastructure at scale. HTTP/2 to Upstream Support […]

TL; DR: Not all Linux distros can run NGINX with PQC support. Read this article to learn which ones do, and how to do it yourself. At DEF CON 33, Konstantinos Karagiannis argued that usable quantum capabilities could arrive much sooner than many expect. Regardless of the exact date, agencies such as NIST, NSA, and […]

The Kubernetes community announced that Ingress NGINX will be retired in March 2026. After that, there won’t be any more updates, bugfixes, or security patches. This decision came after years of the project being maintained by just 1-2 developers working nights and weekends, plus some serious security issues earlier this year (IngressNightmare CVE-2025-1974) that made […]

We’re announcing the retirement of NGINX Amplify, our free-to-use NGINX monitoring service. If you currently use Amplify to monitor your NGINX instances, please read on for timeline details, why we’re making this change, and how to move to the NGINX One Console. Why we’re retiring Amplify Key benefits of transitioning to NGINX One Timeline Gaps […]

Running inference at scale introduces complexities that ordinary routing can’t resolve. LLMs and other generative AI workloads differ fundamentally from standard web services. With NGINX Gateway Fabric (NGF) version 2.2, organizations can now tap into the Gateway API Inference Extension to enable smart, inference-aware routing in Kubernetes. Platform and ML teams can publish self-hosted GenAI […]

Over the last few years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has taken over the world by storm. The rapid growth of AI models and services has created a complex landscape where organizations are starting to combine multiple Large Language Model (LLM) providers and manage different model endpoints with varying API specifications to build their AI-powered applications. We […]
