Nginx Web Server Administration Training in Hyderabad India

Nginx Web Server Administration Training in Hyderabad India

Nginx Web Server Administration

NGINX is a free, open-source, high-performance HTTP server and reverse proxy, as well as an IMAP/POP3 proxy server. NGINX is known for its high performance, stability, rich feature set, simple configuration, and low resource consumption.

It is recognized for its rich feature set, high stability, easy configuration, low resource consumption, and performance. After completing this course, students will be able to: analyze log files configure advanced logging, debug logging, switch binaries at runtime, use access logs for debugging, use if instead of try_files, use ‘if’ as a hostname switch, operate system limits, and use the Stub Status module.

Duration: 40hrs
