Finished the Udemy-class
NGINX Fundamentals: High Performance Servers from Scratch
(see certificate).
Overall it was a very informative and well paced class that gives a good overview on nginx and the different use cases. While likely not enough to really run production servers, it gives enough knowledge on topics such as
- hosting a website
- redirecting traffic
- running workers for other services (such as PHP)
- traffic shaping
- authentication
- reverse proxy
- etc. to put the student in a position to be able to look up the missing pieces on websites or the nginx documentation. As the class is also just 4 hours of videos long, I can recommend it.
