TLS, or Transport layer security, is a more modern version of the original SSL (Secure Socket Layer). It’s a protocol that’s part of the network stack responsible for securing the connection between client and server. TLS is commonly used in conjunction with HTTP to form HTTPS, the secure and encrypted form of HTTP.
Did you know that Hitch is now available as a container image on the dockerhub? I'm asking because it's time to revisit an blog post of mine (4 years, time flies!) and to streamline things a bit. Nowadays containers are ubiquitous, so we can skip the basics, and thanks to the dockerhub images, we don't even need to write our own Dockerfile like we used to. Ain't that nice?
Our base will look a lot like the previous setup, but for this specific blog post, we are going to focus almost exclusively on how to integrate Hitch with Varnish. As you will see it is very straightforward thanks to upstream work, but it will be an opportunity to explore a few interesting notions along the way.
For many years, we’ve fielded questions about which is better, Varnish or NGINX? We’ve always affirmed that both are great but for very different things. They aren’t identical solutions and don’t do identical things. And sometimes, they can be used in complementary ways to get the most from both.
We’re delighted to reveal that a new version of Varnish Enterprise 6 is now available! The latest iteration of our powerful caching technology, Varnish Enterprise 6.0.6r2 will contain a variety of updates, refinements, fixes and optimizations, but also some exciting new features.
Let’s start with something truly game changing...
