F5 unveiled F5 NGINXaaS for Google Cloud, a fully managed, cloud-native application delivery-as-a-service solution. Developed in collaboration with Google Cloud, this solution addresses the growing challenges of delivering modern, containerized applications by integrating load balancing, security, and observability into a single platform. This unified approach helps enterprises reduce tool sprawl, streamline operations, and lower costs.

As businesses increasingly adopt AI-enabled applications and dynamic infrastructures, traditional application delivery and security tools often fail to meet the demands of next-generation cloud environments. F5 NGINXaaS bridges this gap by combining the capabilities of the F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP) with Google Cloud’s ecosystem. This partnership allows enterprises to programmatically tailor systems to evolving requirements, efficiently manage traffic surges, and implement highly customized security policies.

Seamless Performance and Operational Efficiency

Available through Google Cloud Marketplace, F5 NGINXaaS for Google Cloud enhances application performance by intelligently managing workloads and optimizing traffic distribution. By unifying Layer 4 and Layer 7 load balancing, the service ensures faster response times and optimal resource utilization even during traffic spikes.

The platform reduces operational complexity through automation and consolidated tools, freeing IT teams to focus on innovation rather than infrastructure management. Organizations can deploy application updates without downtime, ensuring smooth operations and consistent performance.

With deep programmability via the NGINX JavaScript (njs) module, teams can implement custom business logic and adapt functionality to meet unique needs. F5 NGINXaaS also integrates seamlessly with CI/CD workflows, enabling automated, efficient application rollouts.

Enhanced Visibility, Reliability, and Agility

As enterprises scale across hybrid and multicloud environments, traditional tools can create bottlenecks. F5 NGINXaaS eliminates these challenges with intelligent load balancing and non-disruptive reconfigurations, enabling rapid responses to changing conditions.

The platform provides over 200 real-time metrics for enhanced visibility into application health and performance. Native integrations with Google Cloud’s monitoring tools allow IT teams to proactively identify and resolve issues, reducing downtime and improving user experience. F5 NGINXaaS also supports advanced deployment strategies, including blue-green and canary deployments, A/B testing, and phased rollouts, giving organizations the agility to adapt in fast-paced digital landscapes.

Robust Security for Cloud Applications

F5 NGINXaaS secures APIs, microservices, and containerized applications with end-to-end encryption, SSL/TLS passthrough, mutual TLS (mTLS), and SSL/TLS termination. It strengthens authentication and authorization with JSON Web Tokens (JWT), OpenID Connect (OIDC), and role-based access control (RBAC). Features like rate limiting, circuit breaking, and request buffering prevent service disruptions and maintain reliable performance under heavy traffic.

“Our development efforts with Google Cloud have resulted in a game-changing solution that addresses key challenges in application delivery and security. F5 NGINXaaS for Google Cloud combines enhanced visibility with consistent, dynamic performance, empowering organizations to take full control of their cloud app environments while minimizing operational complexity,” said John Maddison, Chief Marketing Officer at F5.

“As businesses integrate AI into their core operations, they face a new set of security challenges. Our partnership with F5 is important in addressing this, giving customers the advanced tools needed to protect their data, maintain control, and innovate confidently in the era of AI,” said Vineet Bhan, Director of Security and Identity Partnerships at Google Cloud.
