NGINX Plus R17 introduces support for two-stage rate limiting and TLS 1.3, the latest version of the Transport Layer Security protocol. Configuration of OpenID Connect is simpler and NGINX WAF is 2x faster than before. The NGINX JavaScript module has also been updated.

NGINX Plus R16 is a single, elastic ingress and egress tier for applications, consolidating the functionality of a load balancer, API gateway, and WAF with new features like cluster‑aware rate limiting, key‑value store, Random with Two Choices, enhanced UDP load balancing, and more.

NGINX Plus R15 introduces native gRPC proxying (used by Istio and other service mesh architectures), HTTP/2 server push, state sharing in a cluster, API gateway enhancements, OpenID Connect integration, NGINX JavaScript (njs) module enhancements, a new ALPN variable, dynamic module updates, and more.

In Microsoft Azure, you can use JWTs with NGINX Plus to handle authentication against Active Directory outside your app's code.

NGINX Plus R14 is now available with enhanced JWT authentication and a downloadable preview of upcoming cluster support.
