Citrix Cloud Native Networking (CNN) hands-on guides

Citrix cloud-native solutions leverage the advanced traffic management, observability, and comprehensive security features of Citrix ADCs to ensure enterprise grade reliability and security. Lets get started with CNN GitHub!

You’ll learn how to:

• Deploy Citrix Ingress Controller for Citrix Cloud Native stack
• Deploy Citrix ADC containerized proxy - CPX
• Deploy Citrix Cloud native stack in different K8s platforms (On-prem, OpenShift, Rancher, EKS, AKS, GKE, PKS)
• Deploy Citrix Cloud native stack for
  • Unified Ingress topology
  • Two tier topology
  • Service Mesh lite topology
  • ISTIO: Service Mesh topology
