We've dealt with the reverse proxy before; it pretty much goes in that direction. It has a load balancer component for the reverse proxy which allows us to do some content caching. These are use cases that I have experience with. The native method is something else that you don't see with the traditional NGINX controllers, the proprietary version, as well as the open-source version. When I started this project, I wanted to see what steps needed to be taken in order to add a third-party application into Harmony Controller. To begin with, I just put a simple web server in it. I just tried to set up the initial environment. I asked myself, "If this is what it should look like in the end, what steps should I perform to reach this goal?" At the end of the day, I needed to perform some custom integration between Lightning ADC and Harmony controller on the front-end side. Once Kubernetes was involved, I could deploy and monitor whatever applications I wanted.

What is an application delivery controller (ADC)? An application delivery controller (ADC) is a network component that is primarily used to optimize and manage traffic flow as well as client connections to both web and application servers. ADCs also help with application acceleration and assist with application security. They are typically housed in a data center and their capabilities can be implemented using a hardware or software device. Because they can be installed via hardware or...
We sell a couple of boxes to Comodo Federal and Bank of Brazil, which are the biggest banks here in Brazil. They also have a F5 tool.
We use this solution to provide application delivery and load balancing to our clients.
