NGINX Modern Apps > Class 14 – Operationalize NGINX One Configuration and Enable Self-Service through Templates Source | Edit on
Introduction¶
The goal of this lab is to provide an introduction to the NGINX Instance Manager (NIM) templating system by walking through a few use cases that personas in a typical organization might want to implement. The lab will provide pre-built templates for your use. Authoring templates is out of scope for this lab.
The UDF lab consists of:
- A VM with NIM installed
- A VM with KeyCloak to provide single sign-on to NIM using OIDC
- A VM hosting a workload, specifically the OWASP PyGoat application
- A VM hosting NGINX and Agent, managed by NIM
- A JumpHost VM with a virtual FireFox instance for accessing the web interfaces used in this lab
