Overview N1-N4 - NGINX OSS

Welcome to the NGINX OSS compiled Study Guide. The purpose of the this guide is to help your prepare for the 4 exams composing the NGINX OSS certification. The contents of this document are based on the NGINX OSS Exam Blueprint version 1 for NGINX 1.26.0.

This study guide provides students with some of the basic foundational knowledge required to pass the exam.

This study guide is a collection of information and therefore not a completely original work. The majority of the information is compiled from nginx.org and nginx.com sources that are located on Internet, as well as the printed references. All of the information locations are referenced at the top of each topic instead of in an Appendix of this document. This was done to help the reader access the reference the linked information easier without having to search through a formal appendix.

There is not other certification standing pre-requisite to this exam.

Setting up nginx on any virtual machine is quite easy and can give great insight and tools for getting experience about nginx, you can refer to the install nginx reference.

This guide was prepared by an F5 partner’s employee but is not an official F5 document and is not supported by F5.

Reading = Knowledge = Power

Printed References

Note that the nginx.org web page contains a list of book references. Notably, the first referenced book serves as a main reference and can be downloaded for free from F5: https://www.f5.com/go/ebook/complete-nginx-cookbook

I read both these references and found it very insightful and can only advise readers to take a look to learn from others’ well written experiences.
