" summary

A cloud-native reverse proxy is deployed in 3–5 minutes to a tea-and-coffee web app and demonstrates five concrete use cases: NGINX as a Service for Azure load balances traffic across two VM upstreams with active AZ deployment and a 99.95% SLA; auto scaling responds to Azure Monitor request metrics; TLS uses certificates in Azure Key Vault with automatic rotation; OIDC via Microsoft Entra protects the admin path; A/B traffic split (75/25) is enacted and observed in Azure Monitor, then flipped, all working as shown.
