Welcome to this NGINX API Automation workshop.
We’ll start off with an introduction to Ansible, which we’ll then use to complete the bootstrap process of the workshop. Once everything is set up, we’ll take a look at NGINX Controller together, and they’ll we’ll start deploying APIs. Manually at first before switching to the NGINX Controllers declarative API.
Each individual in the workshop has been given access to a gateway instance, the gateway is multi-homed with a public interface in a routeable public network, and a secondary inteface in a private network.
You can either access the gateway directly using SSH and HTTPS, or if that is restricted you may access
using RDP to the jumphost. The RDP password is the same as the Basic-Auth password used to access this
site, and the username is ec2-user.
All other machines in the course reside in the private network and will be accessed through the NGINX Plus instance running on the gateway.
If you’re reading this then the gateway itself is already setup, and your instructor has supplied you with it’s hostname and password.
The private key for gaining access to your workshop can be downloaded Here You should find the SSH private key in both OpenSSH PEM and Putty PPK file formats.
Your jumphost should be accessable on the same stack number as this gateway. So for example, If you are on stack ws03.domain.com, then your jumphost will be on jump03.domain.com.
Connect using your RDP client, with the username ec2-user and the same password as you used here.
