nginx Extension in mercari

• ngx_dynamic_upstream

• Operate upsteam servers Up/Down dynamically

• OpenResty (ngx_lua)

• More powerful L7 load balancer

• Application log collector

Agenda

• Continuous updating nginx

• TLS Optimization

• Automated TLS session ticket key updating

• SPDY to HTTP/2

Continuous updating nginx

Keep nginx the latest• Use nginx mainline version

• stableは安定しているという意味ではなく新機能が追加されず、バグ修正も緊急な修正を除いて行われないということ。すべての新機能やバグ修正はmainlineにて行われるので結果的にmainlineが安定しているhttps://www.nginx.com/blog/nginx-1-6-1-7-released/

• nginxは無停止でのアップデートが可能

• Periodic OpenSSL vulnerability report 😓

nginx-build

• nginx builder command written in Gohttps://github.com/cubicdaiya/nginx-build

• Automate download, configure and make

• Download OpenSSL, zlib and PCRE. build them statically ( independent from OS’s library version)

• Support Tengine and OpenResty

nginx-build$ EXPORT $VERSION=1.9.10$ nginx-build \ -clear \ -d work \ -v $VERSION \ -c nginx-build-conf/configure \ -m nginx-build-conf/modules3rd.ini \ -zlib \ -zlibversion=1.2.8 \ -verbose \ -pcre \ -pcreversion=8.38 \ -openssl \ -opensslversion=1.0.2f \$ cd work/$VERSION/nginx-$VERSION$ sudo make install

TLS Optimization

TLS Optimization

• PFS - Perfect Forward Secrecy

• TTFB - Time To First Byte

Perfect Forward Secrecy

• Mozilla Wikihttps://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Server_Side_TLS

• Mozilla SSL Configuration Generatorhttps://mozilla.github.io/server-side-tls/ssl-config-generator/

• *最新の情報を参照し、プロダクション環境に投入する前にテストを行ってください

TTFB

• TLS Session Cache

• TLS Session Tickets

• OCSP Stapling

• SSL buffer size

TLS Session Cache

• Server side session cache

• Client software does not matter

• nginx could’t share session cache between servers.

ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:120m;ssl_session_timeout 5m;

CONS

PROS

TLS Session Cache

• OpenResty will support it?https://twitter.com/agentzh/status/686655229828403201

TLS Session Tickets

• Client Side Session Cache(like a CookieStore)

• No need to share cache between servers

• It’s required share ssl_session_ticket_key file

• Client support required

ssl_session_tickets on;ssl_session_ticket_key /path/to/ssl_session_ticket;

OCSP Stapling

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Server_Side_TLS

Client required to checking the revocation status. If OCSP Responder is down, page load is failed.

Server retrieves OCSP record, caches it and servers it to client directly. Fast!

OSCP Stapling

• All Android version don’t support yet

• iOS < 9 doesn’t support it

CONS

CONS

ssl_stapling on;ssl_stapling_verify on;ssl_trusted_certificate /path/to/server.crt;resolver 8.8.8.8 valid=30s;resolver_timeout 5s;

TLS buffer size

• TLS record size. Default 16KB, it’s too large. That’s effect to latencyhttps://www.igvita.com/2013/12/16/optimizing-nginx-tls-time-to-first-byte/

ssl_buffer_size 1k;

Automated TLS session tickets key

updating

TLS Session Tickets

• Should share ssl_session_ticket_key file between servers

• Mozilla recommends replace it every day for forward secrecy

• Previously we changed the key file almost every month in manual operation😓

Update Tickets with Consul

• Inspired by Stretcher (fujiwara👍)

• Key_file is very small (48byte), It can store into a payload of consul event

• We’re updating key_file twice a day by using Consul

SPDY to HTTP/2

SPDY is alive

HTTP/1.1 SPDY HTTP2

SPDY to HTTP/2

• In Mobile App, transition to HTTP/2 from SPDY is not so quickly

• Android 4.x, iOS 8...

• nginx dropped SPDY in 1.9.4, but we need to transition gracefully in a few and more years

• We need a server that speak both HTTP/2 and SPDY

Tengine

Now we’re trying Tengine (at a previous slide)
