How to configure NGINX as a load balancer

NGINX is primarily used as a web server, a reverse proxy, and/or a load balancer.

In this short video, we’ll go over how you can take an existing NGINX reverse proxy setup and convert it to load balance traffic to multiple backend servers.

NGINX does a great job of load balancing traffic, but that doesn’t mean it needs to be complicated to configure and by the end of this video you should see that it isn’t complicated at all.

Presented by one of our Training Architects, Keith Thompson.
