## Usage
* Standalone web server

As per benchmarks Nginx is capable of handling larger number of concurrent connection with smaller memory footprint per connection as compared to Apache.
## Prerequisites

## Firewall Restriction
centos 8 has its predefined firewalld service with rules for HTTP {80} or HTTPS {443}
```bash
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=http
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=https
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
