Provision a paid org without VPC peering

This page applies to Apigee, but not to Apigee hybrid.

View Apigee Edge documentation.

This document describes how to install and configure Apigee from the command line without VPC peering. These steps apply to both Subscription and Pay-as-you-go pricing models for paid organizations with or without data residency enabled.

See also Provisioning options.

Limitations

The non-VPC peering installation option described in this document has some limitations:

For a complete list of features and networking approaches that are and are not supported for non-VPC peering, see How to choose a networking option.

Summary of steps

The provisioning steps are as follows:

Step 1: Define environment variables

Set up gcloud and define environment variables for use in later steps:

  1. Be sure you have completed the setup requirements listed in Before you begin.
  2. You must have the Cloud SDK installed. If you need to install it, see Installing Cloud SDK.
  3. Initialize the Cloud SDK, as described in Initializing the gcloud CLI, or otherwise ensure that the Google Cloud project you created in Prerequisites is the default project for gcloud.
  4. Define the following environment variables in your command terminal. Select the tab that corresponds to the type of organization you need: No data residency or with Data residency:

    No data residency

    AUTH="$(gcloud auth print-access-token)" PROJECT_ID="YOUR_PROJECT_ID"PROJECT_NUMBER=$(gcloud projects describe $PROJECT_ID --format="value(projectNumber)")RUNTIME_LOCATION="YOUR_RUNTIME_LOCATION"ANALYTICS_REGION="YOUR_ANALYTICS_REGION"BILLING_TYPE="YOUR_BILLING_TYPE"

    Where:

    • AUTH defines the Authentication header with a bearer token. You will use this header when calling Apigee APIs. Note that the token expires after a period of time and when it does, you can simply regenerate it using the same command. For more information, see the reference page for the print-access-token command.
    • PROJECT_ID is the Cloud project ID that you created as part of the Prerequisites.
    • PROJECT_NUMBER is the Cloud project number that you created as part of the Prerequisites.

    • RUNTIME_LOCATION is the physical location where the Apigee instance you will create later is located. For a list of available runtime locations, see Apigee locations.

    • ANALYTICS_REGION is the physical location at which Apigee analytics data will be stored. For a list of available Apigee API Analytics regions, see Apigee locations.

      Both RUNTIME_LOCATION and ANALYTICS_REGION can be the same region, but they do not have to be the same.

    • BILLING_TYPE is the billing type for the organization you create. Valid values are:

    Data residency

    AUTH="$(gcloud auth print-access-token)" PROJECT_ID="YOUR_PROJECT_ID"PROJECT_NUMBER=$(gcloud projects describe $PROJECT_ID --format="value(projectNumber)")RUNTIME_LOCATION="YOUR_RUNTIME_LOCATION"CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION="YOUR_CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION"CONSUMER_DATA_REGION="YOUR_CONSUMER_DATA_REGION"BILLING_TYPE="YOUR_BILLING_TYPE"

    Where:

    • AUTH defines the Authentication header with a bearer token. You will use this header when calling Apigee APIs. Note that the token expires after a period of time and when it does, you can simply regenerate it using the same command. For more information, see the reference page for the print-access-token command.
    • PROJECT_ID is the Cloud project ID that you created as part of the Prerequisites.
    • PROJECT_NUMBER is the Cloud project number that you created as part of the Prerequisites.

    • RUNTIME_LOCATION is the physical location where the Apigee instance you will create later is located. For a list of available runtime locations, see Apigee locations.

      The runtime location must be within the control plane location.
    • CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION is the physical location at which Apigee control plane data will be stored. For a list of available control plane locations, see Apigee locations.
    • CONSUMER_DATA_REGION is a sub-region of the control plane region. You must specify both the CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION and the CONSUMER_DATA_REGION. For a list of available consumer data regions, see Apigee locations.

    • BILLING_TYPE is the billing type for the organization you create. Valid values are:

  5. (Optional) Check your work by echoing the values you just set. Note that when you want to use a variable in your commands, precede the variable's name with a dollar sign ($).

    No data residency

    echo $AUTHecho $PROJECT_IDecho $PROJECT_NUMBERecho $RUNTIME_LOCATIONecho $ANALYTICS_REGIONecho $BILLING_TYPE

    The responses to your echo commands should look something like the following:

    YOUR_TOKEN my-cloud-project 1234567890 us-west1 us-west1 SUBSCRIPTION

    Data residency

    echo $AUTHecho $PROJECT_IDecho $PROJECT_NUMBERecho $RUNTIME_LOCATIONecho $CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATIONecho $CONSUMER_DATA_REGIONecho $BILLING_TYPE

    The responses to your echo commands should look something like the following:

    YOUR_TOKEN my-cloud-project 1234567890 us-west1 us us-west1 SUBSCRIPTION

Step 2: Enable APIs

  1. Apigee requires you to enable several Google Cloud APIs. Enable them by executing the following services enable command:

     gcloud services enable apigee.googleapis.com \ compute.googleapis.com \ cloudkms.googleapis.com --project=$PROJECT_ID

  2. (Optional) To check your work, use the services list command to show all the enabled APIs:

    gcloud services list

    The response shows all enabled services, including the APIs that you just enabled.

Step 3: Create the Apigee service identity

  1. Create the Apigee service identity:

    gcloud beta services identity create --service=apigee.googleapis.com \ --project=$PROJECT_ID

  2. Verify that the agent was successfully created. The response should show the name of the agent in the following format: service-PROJECT_NUMBER@gcp-sa-apigee.iam.gserviceaccount.com. for example: 

    Service identity created: service-1234567890@gcp-sa-apigee.iam.gserviceaccount.com

Step 4: Create an organization

Before you can create an organization, you must create a runtime database encryption key ring and key (see step 1) and, if you are using data residency, control plane encryption key rings and keys (see step 2). These Cloud KMS keys encrypt data that is stored and replicated across runtime and control plane locations. Apigee uses these entities to encrypt application data such as KVMs, cache, and client secrets, which is then stored in the database. For more information, see About the Apigee encryption keys.

  1. Create a runtime database encryption key ring and key.

    1. Define an environment variable for the location of your runtime database encryption ring and key. This helps ensure consistency when you create them and makes it easier for you to follow along in the documentation.

      The value is the physical location where your runtime database encryption key ring and key are stored.

      Single region

      Single region configurations (in which you have just one instance in one region): Choose from the supported KMS regional locations.

      For example:

      RUNTIMEDBKEY_LOCATION="us-west1"

      The value can be the same as your $RUNTIME_LOCATION (also a region) but it does not have to be. However, there may be a performance benefit if they are the same.

      Multi-region

      Multi-region configurations: Choose from the supported multi-regional locations (such as us or europe) or dual-regional locations.

      For example:

      RUNTIMEDBKEY_LOCATION="us"

      We recommend that if you have a multi-region configuration in the US, use us for your location if possible. Otherwise, use nam4.

    2. Define environment variables for database key rings and key names.

      The key ring's name must be unique to your organization. If you create a second or subsequent region, the name cannot be the same as other key rings' names.

      RUNTIMEDB_KEY_RING_NAME=YOUR_DB_KEY_RING_NAMERUNTIMEDB_KEY_NAME=YOUR_DB_KEY_NAME
    3. (Optional) Check your work by echoing the values you just set. Remember that when you want to use a variable in your commands, precede the variable's name with a dollar sign ($). 
      echo $RUNTIMEDBKEY_LOCATIONecho $RUNTIMEDB_KEY_RING_NAMEecho $RUNTIMEDB_KEY_NAME
    4. Create a new key ring: 
       gcloud kms keyrings create $RUNTIMEDB_KEY_RING_NAME \ --location $RUNTIMEDBKEY_LOCATION --project $PROJECT_ID

      The Apigee runtime database encryption key's location supports all Cloud KMS locations that support Cloud HSM and Cloud EKM.

    5. Create a key:

       gcloud kms keys create $RUNTIMEDB_KEY_NAME \ --keyring $RUNTIMEDB_KEY_RING_NAME \ --location $RUNTIMEDBKEY_LOCATION \ --purpose "encryption" \ --project $PROJECT_ID

      This command creates the key and adds it to the key ring.

      Get the key ID:

       gcloud kms keys list \ --location=$RUNTIMEDBKEY_LOCATION \ --keyring=$RUNTIMEDB_KEY_RING_NAME \ --project=$PROJECT_ID

      The key ID has the following syntax (similar to a file path):

       projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/RUNTIMEDBKEY_LOCATION/keyRings/RUNTIMEDB_KEY_RING_NAME/cryptoKeys/RUNTIMEDB_KEY_NAME

    6. Put the key ID in an environment variable. You will use this variable in a later command:

      RUNTIMEDB_KEY_ID=YOUR_RUNTIMEDB_KEY_ID

    7. Grant access for the Apigee Service Agent to use the new key:

       gcloud kms keys add-iam-policy-binding $RUNTIMEDB_KEY_NAME \ --location $RUNTIMEDBKEY_LOCATION \ --keyring $RUNTIMEDB_KEY_RING_NAME \ --member serviceAccount:service-$PROJECT_NUMBER@gcp-sa-apigee.iam.gserviceaccount.com \ --role roles/cloudkms.cryptoKeyEncrypterDecrypter \ --project $PROJECT_ID

      This command binds the key to the Apigee Service Agent.

      On successful completion of this request, gcloud responds with something similar to the following:

       Updated IAM policy for key [runtime]. bindings: - members: - serviceAccount:service-1234567890@gcp-sa-apigee.iam.gserviceaccount.com role: roles/cloudkms.cryptoKeyEncrypterDecrypter etag: BwWqgEuCuwk= version: 1

      If you get an error like the following:

       INVALID_ARGUMENT: Role roles/cloudkms.cryptokms.cryptoKeyEncrypterDecrypter is not supported for this resource.

      Be sure that you used the project number and not the project name in the service account email address.

  2. If you are using data residency, create a control plane encryption key ring and key. If you are not using data residency, go to step 3.

    3. Perform the following steps to create a control plane encryption key ring and key.

    1. Define an environment variable for the location of your control plane database encryption ring and key: 
      CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION=YOUR_CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATIONCONSUMER_DATA_REGION=YOUR_CONSUMER_DATA_REGION

      Where:

      • CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION is the physical location at which Apigee control plane data will be stored. For a list of available control plane locations, see Apigee locations.
      • CONSUMER_DATA_REGION is a sub-region of the control plane region. You must specify both the CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION and the CONSUMER_DATA_REGION. For a list of available consumer data regions, see Apigee locations.

    2. Define environment variables for control plane database key rings and key names.

      The key ring's name must be unique to your organization.

      CONTROL_PLANE_KEY_RING_NAME=YOUR_CONTROL_PLANE_KEY_RING_NAMECONTROL_PLANE_KEY_NAME=YOUR_CONTROL_PLANE_KEY_NAMECONSUMER_DATA_KEY_RING_NAME=YOUR_CONSUMER_DATA_KEY_RING_NAMECONSUMER_DATA_KEY_NAME=YOUR_CONSUMER_DATA_REGION_KEY_NAME

      Where:

      • CONTROL_PLANE_KEY_RING_NAME is the name of the key ring you will use to identify your control plane encryption key ring.
      • CONTROL_PLANE_KEY_NAME is the name of the key you will use to identify your control plane encryption key.
      • CONSUMER_DATA_KEY_RING_NAME is the name of the key ring you will use to identify your consumer data region encryption key ring.
      • CONSUMER_DATA_KEY_NAME is the name of the key you will use to identify your consumer data region encryption key.
    3. Create a new key ring: 
       gcloud kms keyrings create $CONTROL_PLANE_KEY_RING_NAME \ --location $CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION \ --project $PROJECT_ID
       gcloud kms keyrings create $CONSUMER_DATA_KEY_RING_NAME \ --location $CONSUMER_DATA_REGION \ --project $PROJECT_ID
    4. Create a key: 
       gcloud kms keys create $CONTROL_PLANE_KEY_NAME \ --keyring $CONTROL_PLANE_KEY_RING_NAME \ --location $CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION \ --purpose "encryption" \ --project $PROJECT_ID
       gcloud kms keys create $CONSUMER_DATA_KEY_NAME \ --keyring $CONSUMER_DATA_KEY_RING_NAME \ --location $CONSUMER_DATA_REGION \ --purpose "encryption" \ --project $PROJECT_ID

      This command creates the key and adds it to the key ring.

      Get the key ID:

       gcloud kms keys list \ --location=$CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION \ --keyring=$CONTROL_PLANE_KEY_RING_NAME \ --project=$PROJECT_ID
       gcloud kms keys list \ --location=$CONSUMER_DATA_REGION \ --keyring=$CONSUMER_DATA_KEY_RING_NAME \ --project=$PROJECT_ID

      The key ID has the following syntax (similar to a file path):

      projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION/keyRings/CONTROL_PLANE_KEY_RING_NAME/cryptoKeys/CONTROL_PLANE_KEY_NAME
      projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/CONSUMER_DATA_REGION/keyRings/CONSUMER_DATA_KEY_RING_NAME/cryptoKeys/CONSUMER_DATA_KEY_NAME
    5. Put the key ID in an environment variable. You will use this variable in a later command: 
      CONTROL_PLANE_KEY_ID=YOUR_CONTROL_PLANE_KEY_ID
      CONSUMER_DATA_KEY_ID=YOUR_CONSUMER_DATA_KEY_ID
    6. Grant access for the Apigee Service Agent to use the new key: 
       gcloud kms keys add-iam-policy-binding $CONTROL_PLANE_KEY_NAME \ --location $CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION \ --keyring $CONTROL_PLANE_KEY_RING_NAME \ --member "serviceAccount:service-$PROJECT_NUMBER@gcp-sa-apigee.iam.gserviceaccount.com" \ --role roles/cloudkms.cryptoKeyEncrypterDecrypter \ --project $PROJECT_ID
       gcloud kms keys add-iam-policy-binding $CONSUMER_DATA_KEY_NAME \ --location $CONSUMER_DATA_REGION \ --keyring $CONSUMER_DATA_KEY_RING_NAME \ --member "serviceAccount:service-$PROJECT_NUMBER@gcp-sa-apigee.iam.gserviceaccount.com" \ --role roles/cloudkms.cryptoKeyEncrypterDecrypter \ --project $PROJECT_ID

      This command binds the key to the Apigee Service Agent. On successful completion of this request, gcloud responds with something similar to the following:

      UpdatedIAMpolicyforkey[runtime].bindings:-members:-serviceAccount:service-1234567890@gcp-sa-apigee.iam.gserviceaccount.com role:roles/cloudkms.cryptoKeyEncrypterDecrypteretag:BwWqgEuCuwk=version:1

      If you get an error like the following:

      INVALID_ARGUMENT:Roleroles/cloudkms.cryptokms.cryptoKeyEncrypterDecrypterisnotsupportedforthisresource.

      Be sure that you used the project number and not the project name in the service account email address.

    See also: CMEK troubleshooting.

  3. Create the organization by sending the following request to the Apigee organizations API:

    No data residency

    curl "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations?parent=projects/$PROJECT_ID" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ -X POST \ -H "Content-Type:application/json" \ -d '{ "name":"'"$PROJECT_ID"'", "analyticsRegion":"'"$ANALYTICS_REGION"'", "runtimeType":"CLOUD", "billingType":"'"$BILLING_TYPE"'", "disableVpcPeering":"true", "runtimeDatabaseEncryptionKeyName":"'"$RUNTIMEDB_KEY_ID"'" }'

    Where:

    • -d defines the data payload for the request. This payload must include the following:

      • name: Identifies your new organization. It must be the same name as your project ID.

      • analyticsRegion: Specifies the physical location where your analytics data will be stored.

      • runtimeType: Set this value to CLOUD.
      • billingType: Specifies the billing type of the organization created.
      • disableVpcPeering: Set to true if you do not want to use VPC peering. Default: false
      • runtimeDatabaseEncryptionKeyName: The ID of the application encryption key that you created in the previous step. Recall that the ID is structured like a file path. For example:
        projects/my-project/locations/us-west1/keyRings/my-key-ring/cryptoKeys/my-key

    Data residency

    Create an organization using the API:

     curl "https://$CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION-apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations?parent=projects/$PROJECT_ID" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ -X POST \ -H "Content-Type:application/json" \ -d '{ "name":"'"$PROJECT_ID"'", "runtimeType":"CLOUD", "billingType":"'"$BILLING_TYPE"'", "controlPlaneEncryptionKeyName":"'"$CONTROL_PLANE_KEY_ID"'", "apiConsumerDataLocation":"'"$CONSUMER_DATA_REGION"'", "apiConsumerDataEncryptionKeyName":"'"$CONSUMER_DATA_KEY_ID"'", "disableVpcPeering":"true", "runtimeDatabaseEncryptionKeyName":"'"$RUNTIMEDB_KEY_ID"'" }'

    Where:

    -d defines the data payload for the request. This payload must include the following:

    • name: Identifies your new organization. It must be the same name as your project ID.
    • runtimeType: Set this value to CLOUD.
    • billingType: Specifies the billing type of the organization created.
    • controlPlaneEncryptionKeyName: Is your control plane key ID.
    • apiConsumerDataLocation: You must also specify a sub-region for use by internal resources. See Data residency regions for supported values.
    • apiConsumerDataEncryptionKeyName: Is your consumer data region key ID.
    • disableVpcPeering: Set to true if you do not want to use VPC peering. Default: false
    • runtimeDatabaseEncryptionKeyName: The ID of the application encryption key that you created in the previous step. Recall that the ID is structured like a file path. For example:
      projects/my-project/locations/us-west1/keyRings/my-key-ring/cryptoKeys/my-key

    After you execute this command, Apigee starts a long-running operation, which can take a few minutes to complete.

    If you get an error, check your use of quotation marks around the variable values in the data payload. Be sure that you have double-single-double quotes around the $PROJECT_ID variable, as the following example shows:

    "'"$PROJECT_ID"'"

    If you use plain strings (not environment variables) for request values, you can wrap them in double quotes within the single-quoted payload string, as the following example shows:

    '{ "name":"my-gcp-project", ... }'
  4. Wait a few minutes.
  5. To check the status of your creation request, you can send a GET request to the Apigee List organizations API, as the following example shows:

    No data residency

    curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID"

    Data residency

    curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" "https://$CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION-apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID"

    If you see this response, then the organization creation has not completed yet: 

    { "error": { "code": 403, "message": "Permission denied on resource \"organizations/apigee-docs-m\" (or it may not exist)", "status": "PERMISSION_DENIED" } }

    On success, the response object will indicate "state": "ACTIVE", and you can go on to the next step.

    If Apigee returns an HTTP error response, then see Creating an Apigee organization.

Step 5: Create a runtime instance

A runtime instance is where your Apigee project and related services are stored; it provides the user-facing endpoint for your services. To create a new runtime instance:

  1. Check that Apigee has finished creating your organization. You submitted a request to create a new organization in Create an Apigee organization, but you need to be sure it's done before you continue.

    To do this, send the following request to the organizations API:

    No data residency

    curl -i -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID"

    Data residency

    curl -i -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ "https://$CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION-apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID"

    If the organization exists (and you have the proper permissions to view it), Apigee responds with details about it. If Apigee responds with an error, wait a couple of minutes and send the request again.

  2. Similar to the preceding task where you created an encryption key for the database, now you need to create a Cloud KMS key used to encrypt data on the server side. To get started, define the following environment variables: 
    INSTANCE_NAME=YOUR_INSTANCE_NAMERUNTIME_LOCATION=YOUR_RUNTIME_LOCATIONDISK_KEY_RING_NAME=YOUR_DISK_KEY_RING_NAMEDISK_KEY_NAME=YOUR_DISK_KEY_NAME

    3. Where:

    • INSTANCE_NAME: Your new instance's name. For example, my-runtime-instance. The name must start with a lowercase letter, can be up to 32 characters long, and can include only lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens. It cannot start or end with a hyphen and must be at least two characters long.
    • RUNTIME_LOCATION is the physical place in which your cluster is hosted. Valid values are any location allowed by Compute Engine. (See Available regions and zones.) This example uses us-west1.
    • DISK_KEY_RING_NAME is the name of the disk encryption key ring.
    • DISK_KEY_NAME is the name of the disk encryption key.
  3. Create a disk encryption key:
    1. Create a new disk key ring: 
       gcloud kms keyrings create $DISK_KEY_RING_NAME \ --location $RUNTIME_LOCATION \ --project $PROJECT_ID

      Your disk key ring must be set to the same location as the instance. Each instance and key ring should have its own location.

    2. Create a new disk key: 
       gcloud kms keys create $DISK_KEY_NAME \ --keyring $DISK_KEY_RING_NAME \ --location $RUNTIME_LOCATION \ --purpose "encryption" \ --project $PROJECT_ID

      The key can be referenced by its key path. You can get the key path with the following command:

       gcloud kms keys list \ --location=$RUNTIME_LOCATION \ --keyring=$DISK_KEY_RING_NAME \ --project=$PROJECT_ID

      The key path looks something like the following:

      projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/RUNTIME_LOCATION/keyRings/my-disk-key-ring/cryptoKeys/my-disk-key

    3. Put the key path in an environment variable. You will use this variable in a later command:

      DISK_KEY_ID=YOUR_DISK_KEY_ID

      For example: DISK_KEY_ID=projects/my-project/locations/us-west1/keyRings/my-key-ring/cryptoKeys/my-key

    4. Grant access for the Apigee Service Agent to use the new key:

      gcloud kms keys add-iam-policy-binding $DISK_KEY_NAME \ --location $RUNTIME_LOCATION \ --keyring $DISK_KEY_RING_NAME \ --member serviceAccount:service-$PROJECT_NUMBER@gcp-sa-apigee.iam.gserviceaccount.com \ --role roles/cloudkms.cryptoKeyEncrypterDecrypter \ --project $PROJECT_ID

      This command binds the key to the Apigee Service Agent.

    For more information, see About the Apigee encryption keys.

  4. Create a new runtime instance for your project by sending a POST request to the Apigee Instances API:

    No data residency

    curl "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/instances" \ -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ -H "Content-Type:application/json" \ -d '{ "name":"'"$INSTANCE_NAME"'", "location":"'"$RUNTIME_LOCATION"'", "diskEncryptionKeyName":"'"$DISK_KEY_ID"'", "consumerAcceptList":["'"$PROJECT_ID"'"] }'

    Data residency

    curl "https://$CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION-apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/instances" \ -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ -H "Content-Type:application/json" \ -d '{ "name":"'"$INSTANCE_NAME"'", "location":"'"$RUNTIME_LOCATION"'", "diskEncryptionKeyName":"'"$DISK_KEY_ID"'", "consumerAcceptList":["'"$PROJECT_ID"'"] }'

    Where:

    • consumerAcceptList (Optional) Specifies a list of Google Cloud project IDs that can privately connect to the Apigee VPC's service attachment. Service attachment is an entity used with Google Cloud Private Service Connect to allow service producers (in this case, Apigee) to expose services to consumers (in this case, one or more Cloud projects that you own). By default, we use the Cloud project that is already associated with your Apigee organization. For example: "consumerAcceptList": ["project1", "project2", "project3"]

      Note that you can also set and change the list of accepted projects in the Instance UI. For details, see Managing instances.

    This request can take up to 20 minutes to complete because Apigee must create and launch a new Kubernetes cluster, install the Apigee resources on that cluster, and set up load balancing.

    If Apigee returns an error, see Creating a new instance.

  5. To check the status of your runtime instance creation request, execute the following command. When the state is ACTIVE, you can go on to the next step.

    No data residency

    curl -i -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/instances/$INSTANCE_NAME"

    Data residency

    curl -i -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ "https://$CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION-apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/instances/$INSTANCE_NAME"

Step 6: Create an environment

To create an environment and attach it to the runtime on the command line:

  1. Define environment variables to be used in this section. The specific environment variables you create will depend upon whether you are creating an environment for a subscription or Pay-as-you-go org.

    Subscription

    For a subscription environment, create these variables:

    ENVIRONMENT_NAME="YOUR_ENV_NAME" ENV_GROUP_NAME="YOUR_ENV_GROUP_NAME"ENV_GROUP_HOSTNAME="YOUR_ENV_GROUP_HOSTNAME"

    Where:

    • ENVIRONMENT_NAME is a string name. For example: test
    • ENV_GROUP_NAME is a string name. For example: test-group
    • ENV_GROUP_HOSTNAME is a valid domain host name. For example: foo.example.com

    Pay-as-you-go

    For a Pay-as-you-go environment, create these variables:

    ENVIRONMENT_NAME="YOUR_ENV_NAME" ENVIRONMENT_TYPE="YOUR_ENV_TYPE"ENV_GROUP_NAME="YOUR_ENV_GROUP_NAME"ENV_GROUP_HOSTNAME="YOUR_ENV_GROUP_HOSTNAME"

    Where:

    • ENVIRONMENT_NAME is a string name. For example: test
    • ENVIRONMENT_TYPE is the environment type for this environment and is only applicable for Pay-as-you-go users, who must specify one of these values: BASE, INTERMEDIATE, or COMPREHENSIVE. Other users should omit the environment type.
    • ENV_GROUP_NAME is a string name. For example: test-group
    • ENV_GROUP_HOSTNAME is a valid domain host name. For example: foo.example.com
  2. Create a new environment with the Environments API. The specific commands you use will depend upon whether you are creating an environment for a subscription or Pay-as-you-go org.

    Subscription

    For a new subscription environment, use the following command:

    No data residency

    curl "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/environments" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ -X POST \ -H "Content-Type:application/json" \ -d '{ "name":"'"$ENVIRONMENT_NAME"'" }'

    Data residency

    curl "https://$CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION-apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/environments" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ -X POST \ -H "Content-Type:application/json" \ -d '{ "name":"'"$ENVIRONMENT_NAME"'" }'

    Apigee creates a new environment.

    Pay-as-you-go

    For a new Pay-as-you-go environment, use the following command:

    No data residency

    curl "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/environments" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ -X POST \ -H "Content-Type:application/json" \ -d '{ "name":"'"$ENVIRONMENT_NAME"'", "type":"'"$ENVIRONMENT_TYPE"'" }'

    Data residency

    curl "https://$CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION-apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/environments" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ -X POST \ -H "Content-Type:application/json" \ -d '{ "name":"'"$ENVIRONMENT_NAME"'", "type":"'"$ENVIRONMENT_TYPE"'" }'

    Apigee creates a new environment.

  3. Before you continue, check that Apigee finished creating the new environment by calling the Environments API:

    No data residency

    curl -i -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/environments"

    Data residency

    curl -i -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ "https://$CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION-apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/environments"

    Apigee responds with a list of available environments; for example, if your environment name is test, Apigee responds with the following:

    [ "test" ]
  4. Attach the new environment to the runtime instance:

    No data residency

    curl "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/instances/$INSTANCE_NAME/attachments" \ -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ -H "content-type:application/json" \ -d '{ "environment":"'"$ENVIRONMENT_NAME"'" }'

    Data residency

    curl "https://$CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION-apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/instances/$INSTANCE_NAME/attachments" \ -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ -H "content-type:application/json" \ -d '{ "environment":"'"$ENVIRONMENT_NAME"'" }'

    This operation can take several minutes to complete. To check to see if the attachment is completed, execute this command:

    No data residency

    curl -i -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/instances/$INSTANCE_NAME/attachments"

    Data residency

    curl -i -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ "https://$CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION-apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/instances/$INSTANCE_NAME/attachments"

    When you see output like the following, you can go to the next step: 

    { "attachments": [ { "name": "ed628782-c893-4095-b71c-f4731805290a", "environment": "test", "createdAt": "1641604447542" } ] }
  5. Create a new environment group using the following command. For more information, see About environments and environment groups:

    No data residency

    curl "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/envgroups" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ -X POST \ -H "Content-Type:application/json" \ -d '{ "name": "'"$ENV_GROUP_NAME"'", "hostnames":["'"$ENV_GROUP_HOSTNAME"'"] }'

    Data residency

     curl "https://$CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION-apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/envgroups" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ -X POST \ -H "Content-Type:application/json" \ -d '{ "name": "'"$ENV_GROUP_NAME"'", "hostnames":["'"$ENV_GROUP_HOSTNAME"'"] }'
  6. Wait for the operation to complete. You can check the status of your new group using a request like the following:

    No data residency

    curl -i -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/envgroups/$ENV_GROUP_NAME"

    Data residency

    curl -i -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ "https://$CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION-apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/envgroups/$ENV_GROUP_NAME"
  7. Attach the new environment to the new environment group with the following command:

    No data residency

     curl "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/envgroups/$ENV_GROUP_NAME/attachments" \ -X POST \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ -H "content-type:application/json" \ -d '{ "environment":"'"$ENVIRONMENT_NAME"'" }'

    Data residency

     curl "https://$CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION-apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/envgroups/$ENV_GROUP_NAME/attachments" \ -X POST \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ -H "content-type:application/json" \ -d '{ "environment":"'"$ENVIRONMENT_NAME"'" }'
  8. To check the status of the operation, call this API:

    No data residency

    curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/envgroups/$ENV_GROUP_NAME/attachments"

    Data residency

    curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ "https://$CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION-apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/envgroups/$ENV_GROUP_NAME/attachments"

Step 7: Configure routing

In this step, you configure how client applications communicate with Apigee. Client to Apigee traffic is also called "northbound" traffic. Northbound configuration options include the following. Go to the configuration option you wish to use and perform the steps for that option:

Access typeDescription of the configuration and deployment process
Internal with PSC (New)

Allow only internal access to your API proxies from any of your Google Cloud projects using Private Service Connect (PSC).

PSC enables private connection between a service producer (Apigee) and a service consumer (the peered VPC project and/or one or more other Cloud projects that you control). With this method, requests pass through either a service endpoint or a regional internal load balancer to a single point of attachment, called a service attachment. This configuration lets your internal clients send Apigee API proxy requests from any network-enabled machine.

External with PSC (New)

Allow external access to your API proxies using Private Service Connect (PSC).

Use Private Service Connect (PSC) to enable private connection between a service producer (Apigee) and a service consumer (the peered VPC project and/or one or more other Cloud projects that you control). With this method, requests pass through either a global external load balancer or a regional external load balancer to a single point of attachment, called a service attachment. This configuration lets you send Apigee API proxy requests from any network-enabled machine.

Each of these routing approaches is presented in the instructions below.

Internal routing (PSC)

This section explains how to allow only internal access to your API proxies from any of your Google Cloud projects using Private Service Connect (PSC).

You have two options for configuring internal access with PSC:

  • Service endpoint: Requests pass through a service endpoint to a single point of attachment, called a service attachment.
  • Internal regional load balancer: Requests pass through a regional internal HTTP(S) load balancer. See also Global vs regional load balancing.

Select the tab below for your configuration choice and follow the steps:

Service endpoint

Create a PSC service endpoint for the service attachment

  1. Get the service attachment from the instance you created previously:

    No data residency

    curl -i -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/instances"

    Data residency

    curl -i -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ "https://$CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION-apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/instances"

    In the following sample output, the serviceAttachment value is shown in bold type: 

    { "instances": [ { "name": "us-west1", "location": "us-west1", "createdAt": "1645731488019", "lastModifiedAt": "1646504754219", "diskEncryptionKeyName": "projects/my-project/locations/us-west1/keyRings/us-west1/cryptoKeys/dek", "state": "ACTIVE", "runtimeVersion": "1-7-0-20220228-190814", "consumerAcceptList": [ "my-project" ], "serviceAttachment": "projects/bfac74a67a320c43a12p-tp/regions/us-west1/serviceAttachments/apigee-us-west1-crw1" } ] }
  2. Create a PSC Service Endpoint that points to the service attachment that you obtained from the instance response body in the previous step, as explained in Create a Private Service Connect endpoint.
  3. Apigee provisioning is complete. Go to Deploy a sample proxy.

Internal regional LB

Step 8a: Set up environment variables

The instructions in this section use environment variables to refer to repeatedly used strings. Be sure you have set the variables in Define environment variables.

In addition, set the following environment variables:

NEG_NAME=YOUR_NEG_NAME"TARGET_SERVICE=YOUR_TARGET_SERVICE"NETWORK_NAME=YOUR_NETWORK_NAME"SUBNET_NAME=YOUR_SUBNET_NAME"

Where:

  • NEG_NAME: a name for the network endpoint group.
  • TARGET_SERVICE: the service attachment that you want to connect to. For example: projects/bfac7497a40c32a12p-tp/regions/us-west1/serviceAttachments/apigee-us-west1-crw7
  • NETWORK_NAME: (Optional) Name of the network in which the NEG is created. If you omit this parameter, the default project network is used.
  • SUBNET_NAME: Name of the subnet used for private connectivity to the producer. The subnet size can be small: the PSC NEG only needs one IP from the subnet. For Apigee, only one PSC NEG is needed per region. The subnet can be shared and used by VMs or other entities. If a subnet is not specified, network endpoints may belong to any subnetwork in the region where the network endpoint group is created.

Step 8b: Create a proxy-only subnet

gcloud compute networks subnets create testproxyonlysubnet \ --purpose=REGIONAL_MANAGED_PROXY --role=ACTIVE --region=$RUNTIME_REGION --network=$NETWORK_NAME \ --range=100.0.0.0/24 --project=$PROJECT_ID

Step 8c: Create a network endpoint group (NEG)

  1. Get the service attachment from the instance you created previously:

    No data residency

    curl -i -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/instances"

    Data residency

    curl -i -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ "https://$CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION-apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/instances"

    In the following sample output, the serviceAttachment value is shown in bold type: 

    { "instances": [ { "name": "us-west1", "location": "us-west1", "createdAt": "1645731488019", "lastModifiedAt": "1646504754219", "diskEncryptionKeyName": "projects/my-project/locations/us-west1/keyRings/us-west1/cryptoKeys/dek", "state": "ACTIVE", "runtimeVersion": "1-7-0-20220228-190814", "consumerAcceptList": [ "my-project" ], "serviceAttachment": "projects/bfac7497a40c32a12p-tp/regions/us-west1/serviceAttachments/apigee-us-west1-crw7" } ] }

  2. Create a Private Service Connect NEG that points to the service attachment that you obtained from the instance response body in the previous step. 

     gcloud compute network-endpoint-groups create $NEG_NAME \ --network-endpoint-type=private-service-connect \ --psc-target-service=$TARGET_SERVICE \ --region=$RUNTIME_LOCATION \ --project=$PROJECT_ID

    Where $PROJECT_ID can be the Cloud project that is already associated with your Apigee organization, or a Cloud project included in the consumerAcceptlist when the Apigee runtime instance was created.

Step 8d: Configure the regional internal load balancer

  1. Reserve an internal IPv4 address for the load balancer. 
    gcloud compute addresses create ADDRESS_NAME \ --ip-version=IPV4 --subnet=$SUBNET_NAME \ --region=$RUNTIME_LOCATION --project=$PROJECT_ID

    Replace ADDRESS_NAME with a name for the IP address resource.

    Run this command to view the reserved IP address: 

    gcloud compute addresses describe ADDRESS_NAME \ --format="get(address)" --region=$RUNTIME_LOCATION --project=$PROJECT_ID
  2. Create a backend service for the NEG. 
    gcloud compute backend-services create BACKEND_SERVICE_NAME \ --load-balancing-scheme=INTERNAL_MANAGED \ --protocol=HTTPS \ --region=$RUNTIME_REGION \ --project=$PROJECT_ID

    3. Replace BACKEND_SERVICE_NAME with the name of the backend service.

  3. Add the NEG to the backend service: 
    gcloud compute backend-services add-backend BACKEND_SERVICE_NAME \ --network-endpoint-group=$NEG_NAME \ --region=$RUNTIME_LOCATION \ --project=$PROJECT_ID

    Replace the following:

    • NEG_NAME: the name of the network endpoint group.
    • BACKEND_SERVICE_NAME with the name of the backend service.

  4. To create an HTTPS load balancer, you must have an SSL certificate resource to use in the HTTPS target proxy.

    Use this command to create a self-managed SSL certificate resource. To create a self-managed SSL certificate, you need a local private key file and a local certificate file. If you need to create these files, see step 1 of using self-managed SSL certificates.

    gcloud compute ssl-certificates create CERTIFICATE \ --certificate LB_CERT \ --private-key LB_PRIVATE_KEY --region=$RUNTIME_LOCATION --project=$PROJECT_ID

    Replace the following:

    • CERTIFICATE: a name for the certificate.
    • LB_CERT: the path to the PEM-formatted certificate file for your self-managed certificate.
    • LB_PRIVATE_KEY: the path to the PEM-formatted private key file for your self-managed certificate.

  5. Create a URL map for the load balancer.

    A URL map must reference a default backend service. Set the backend service you just created as the default.

    gcloud compute url-maps create URL_MAP_NAME \ --default-service=DEFAULT_BACKEND_SERVICE_NAME \ --region=$RUNTIME_REGION \ --project=$PROJECT_ID

    Replace the following:

    • URL_MAP_NAME: a name for the URL map.
    • DEFAULT_BACKEND_SERVICE_NAME: the name of the load balancer's default backend service. The default is used when no host rule matches the requested hostname.

  6. Use the SSL certificate resource to create a target HTTPS proxy.

    gcloud compute target-https-proxies create PROXY_NAME \ --url-map=URL_MAP_NAME \ --ssl-certificates=CERTIFICATE \ --region=$RUNTIME_LOCATION --project=$PROJECT_ID

    Replace the following:

    • PROXY_NAME: a name for the target HTTPS proxy.
    • URL_MAP_NAME: the name of the URL map.
    • CERTIFICATE: the name of the certificate resource.
  7. Create the forwarding rule. 
    gcloud compute forwarding-rules create FWD_RULE \ --load-balancing-scheme=INTERNAL_MANAGED \ --address=ADDRESS_NAME \ --target-https-proxy=PROXY_NAME \ --ports=443 \ --target-https-proxy-region=$RUNTIME_REGION \ --region=$RUNTIME_REGION \ --project=$PROJECT_ID \ --network=$NETWORK_NAME \ --subnet=$SUBNET_NAME

    Replace the following:

    • FWD_RULE: a name for the forwarding rule.
    • ADDRESS_NAME: the IP address resource that you reserved to use for the forwarding rule.
    • PROXY_NAME: the name of the target HTTPS proxy.
    • NETWORK_NAME: (Optional) Name of the network in which the NEG is created. If you omit this parameter, the default project network is used.
    • SUBNET_NAME: Name of the subnet used for private connectivity to the producer.
  8. Apigee provisioning is complete. Go to Deploy a sample proxy.

External routing (PSC)

This section describes how to configure external routing using Private Service Connect (PSC) to allow communication between Apigee and VPCs that you control. You must do this before you can send a request from an external client to your Apigee runtime instance.

Step 8b: Create a NEG and configure the load balancer

You can create a global or regional load balancer.

Global external LB

Configure a global external HTTP(S) load balancer (load balancing scheme set to EXTERNAL_MANAGED).

Although the Private Service Connect NEG is regional, all other load balancing components in this configuration are global.

  1. Make sure you have set the environment variables in Define environment variables.
  2. Get the service attachment from the instance you created previously:

    No data residency

    curl -i -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/instances"

    Data residency

    curl -i -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ "https://$CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION-apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/instances"

    In the following sample output, the serviceAttachment value is shown in bold type: 

    {"instances":[{"name":"us-west1","location":"us-west1","host":"10.82.192.2","port":"443","createdAt":"1645731488019","lastModifiedAt":"1646504754219","diskEncryptionKeyName":"projects/my-project/locations/us-west1/keyRings/us-west1/cryptoKeys/dek","state":"ACTIVE","peeringCidrRange":"SLASH_22","runtimeVersion":"1-7-0-20220228-190814","ipRange":"10.82.192.0/22,10.82.196.0/28","consumerAcceptList":["875609189304"],"serviceAttachment":"projects/bfac7497a40c32a12p-tp/regions/us-west1/serviceAttachments/apigee-us-west1-crw7"}]}

  3. Create a Private Service Connect NEG that points to the service attachment that you obtained from the instance response body in the previous step. 

     gcloud compute network-endpoint-groups create NEG_NAME \ --network-endpoint-type=private-service-connect \ --psc-target-service=TARGET_SERVICE \ --region=$RUNTIME_LOCATION \ --network=NETWORK_NAME \ --subnet=SUBNET_NAME \ --project=$PROJECT_ID

    Replace the following:

    • NEG_NAME: a name for the network endpoint group.
    • TARGET_SERVICE: the service attachment that you want to connect to. Use the service attachment value returned by the previous command. For example: projects/bfac7497a40c32a12p-tp/regions/us-west1/serviceAttachments/apigee-us-west1-crw7
    • NETWORK_NAME: (Optional) Name of the network in which the NEG is created. If you omit this parameter, the default project network is used.
    • SUBNET_NAME: Name of the subnet used for private connectivity to the producer. The subnet size can be small: the PSC NEG only needs one IP from the subnet. For Apigee, only one PSC NEG is needed per region. The subnet can be shared and used by VMs or other entities. If a subnet is not specified, network endpoints may belong to any subnetwork in the region where the network endpoint group is created.
    • $PROJECT_ID The Cloud project that is already associated with your Apigee organization, or a Cloud project included in the consumerAcceptlist when the Apigee runtime instance was created. If you haven't already, create an environment variable to hold the project ID, because it is used in most of the following commands.
  4. Reserve a global external IPv4 address for the load balancer. 
    gcloud compute addresses create ADDRESS_NAME \ --ip-version=IPV4 --global --project=$PROJECT_ID

    Replace ADDRESS_NAME with a name for the IP address resource.

    Run this command to view the reserved IP address: 

    gcloud compute addresses describe ADDRESS_NAME \ --format="get(address)" --global --project=$PROJECT_ID
  5. Create a backend service for the NEG. 
    gcloud compute backend-services create BACKEND_SERVICE_NAME \ --load-balancing-scheme=EXTERNAL_MANAGED \ --protocol=HTTPS \ --global --project=$PROJECT_ID

    6. Replace BACKEND_SERVICE_NAME with the name of the backend service.

  6. Add the NEG to the backend service. 
    gcloud compute backend-services add-backend BACKEND_SERVICE_NAME \ --network-endpoint-group=NEG_NAME \ --network-endpoint-group-region=REGION \ --global --project=$PROJECT_ID

    Replace the following:

    • BACKEND_SERVICE_NAME: the name of the backend service.
    • NEG_NAME: the name of the network endpoint group.
    • REGION: the region of the network endpoint group.

  7. Create a URL map for the load balancer.

    A URL map must reference a default backend service. Set the backend service you just created as the default.

    gcloud compute url-maps create URL_MAP_NAME \ --default-service=DEFAULT_BACKEND_SERVICE_NAME \ --global --project=$PROJECT_ID

    Replace the following:

    • URL_MAP_NAME: a name for the URL map.
    • DEFAULT_BACKEND_SERVICE_NAME: the name of the load balancer's default backend service. The default is used when no host rule matches the requested hostname.

  8. Create the target HTTPS proxy.

    To create an HTTPS load balancer, you must have an SSL certificate resource to use in the HTTPS target proxy. You can create an SSL certificate resource using either a Google-managed SSL certificate or a self-managed SSL certificate. Using Google-managed certificates is recommended because Google Cloud obtains, manages, and renews these certificates automatically.

    To create a Google-managed certificate, you must have a domain.

    Use this command to create a Google-managed SSL certificate resource: 

    gcloud compute ssl-certificates create CERTIFICATE \ --domains DOMAIN --project=$PROJECT_ID

    Replace the following:

    • CERTIFICATE: a name for the certificate.
    • DOMAIN: the domain name of your load balancer.

    Use this command to create a self-managed SSL certificate resource. To create a self-managed SSL certificate, you need a local private key file and a local certificate file. If you need to create these files, see step 1 of using self-managed SSL certificates.

    gcloud compute ssl-certificates create CERTIFICATE \ --certificate LB_CERT \ --private-key LB_PRIVATE_KEY --project=$PROJECT_ID

    Replace the following:

    • CERTIFICATE: a name for the certificate.
    • LB_CERT: the path to the PEM-formatted certificate file for your self-managed certificate.
    • LB_PRIVATE_KEY: the path to the PEM-formatted private key file for your self-managed certificate.

    Use the SSL certificate resource to create a target HTTPS proxy.

    gcloud compute target-https-proxies create PROXY_NAME \ --url-map=URL_MAP_NAME \ --ssl-certificates=CERTIFICATE --project=$PROJECT_ID

    Replace the following:

    • PROXY_NAME: a name for the target HTTPS proxy.
    • URL_MAP_NAME: the name of the URL map.
    • CERTIFICATE: the name of the certificate resource.
  9. Create the forwarding rule. 
    gcloud compute forwarding-rules create FWD_RULE \ --load-balancing-scheme=EXTERNAL_MANAGED \ --network-tier=PREMIUM \ --address=ADDRESS_NAME \ --target-https-proxy=PROXY_NAME \ --ports=443 \ --global --project=$PROJECT_ID

    Replace the following:

    • FWD_RULE: a name for the forwarding rule.
    • ADDRESS_NAME: the IP address resource that you reserved to use for the forwarding rule.
    • PROXY_NAME: the name of the target HTTPS proxy.

Regional external LB

Configure a regional external HTTP(S) load balancer. See also External HTTP(S) load balancer overview.

  1. Be sure you have set the variables in Define environment variables.
  2. Create a proxy-only subnet: 
    gcloud compute networks subnets create SUBNET_NAME \ --purpose=REGIONAL_MANAGED_PROXY --role=ACTIVE \ --region=$RUNTIME_LOCATION --network=NETWORK_NAME \ --range=100.0.0.0/24 --project=$PROJECT_ID

    Replace the following:

    • SUBNET_NAME: the name of the subnet.
    • (Optional) NETWORK_NAME: Name of the network in which the subnet is created. If you omit this parameter, the default project network is used.
  3. Get the service attachment from the instance you created previously:

    No data residency

    curl -i -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/instances"

    Data residency

    curl -i -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ "https://$CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION-apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/instances"

    In the following sample output, the serviceAttachment value is shown in bold type: 

    {"instances":[{"name":"us-west1","location":"us-west1","host":"10.82.192.2","port":"443","createdAt":"1645731488019","lastModifiedAt":"1646504754219","diskEncryptionKeyName":"projects/my-project/locations/us-west1/keyRings/us-west1/cryptoKeys/dek","state":"ACTIVE","peeringCidrRange":"SLASH_22","runtimeVersion":"1-7-0-20220228-190814","ipRange":"10.82.192.0/22,10.82.196.0/28","consumerAcceptList":["875609189304"],"serviceAttachment":"projects/bfac7497a40c32a12p-tp/regions/us-west1/serviceAttachments/apigee-us-west1-crw7"}]}
  4. Create a network endpoint group. 
    gcloud compute network-endpoint-groups create NEG_NAME \ --network-endpoint-type=private-service-connect \ --psc-target-service=TARGET_SERVICE \ --region=$RUNTIME_LOCATION --project=$PROJECT_ID

    Replace the following:

    • NEG_NAME: the name of the network endpoint group.
    • TARGET_SERVICE: the name of the service attachment that you want to connect to. For example: projects/bfac7497a40c32a12p-tp/regions/us-west1/serviceAttachments/apigee-us-west1-crw7
  5. Create a backend service for the NEG. 
    gcloud compute backend-services create BACKEND_SERVICE_NAME \ --load-balancing-scheme=EXTERNAL_MANAGED \ --protocol=HTTPS \ --region=$RUNTIME_LOCATION \ --project=$PROJECT_ID

    6. Replace BACKEND_SERVICE_NAME with the name of the backend service.

  6. Add the NEG to the backend service. 
    gcloud compute backend-services add-backend BACKEND_SERVICE_NAME \ --network-endpoint-group=NEG_NAME \ --region=$RUNTIME_LOCATION \ --project=$PROJECT_ID

    Replace the following:

    • BACKEND_SERVICE_NAME: the name of the backend service.
    • NEG_NAME: the name of the network endpoint group.

  7. Create a URL map for the load balancer.

    A URL map must reference a default backend service. Set the backend service you just created as the default.

    gcloud compute url-maps create URL_MAP_NAME \ --default-service=DEFAULT_BACKEND_SERVICE_NAME \ --region=$RUNTIME_LOCATION \ --project=$PROJECT_ID

    Replace the following:

    • URL_MAP_NAME: a name for the URL map.
    • DEFAULT_BACKEND_SERVICE_NAME: the name of the load balancer's default backend service. The default is used when no host rule matches the requested hostname.

  8. Create the target HTTPS proxy.

    To create an HTTPS load balancer, you must have an SSL certificate resource to use in the HTTPS target proxy.

    Use this command to create a self-managed SSL certificate resource. To create a self-managed SSL certificate, you need a local private key file and a local certificate file. If you need to create these files, see step 1 of using self-managed SSL certificates.

    gcloud compute ssl-certificates create CERTIFICATE \ --certificate LB_CERT \ --private-key LB_PRIVATE_KEY --region=$RUNTIME_LOCATION \ --project=$PROJECT_ID

    Replace the following:

    • CERTIFICATE: a name for the certificate.
    • LB_CERT: the path to the PEM-formatted certificate file for your self-managed certificate.
    • LB_PRIVATE_KEY: the path to the PEM-formatted private key file for your self-managed certificate.

    Use the SSL certificate resource to create a target HTTPS proxy.

    gcloud compute target-https-proxies create PROXY_NAME \ --url-map=URL_MAP_NAME --region=$RUNTIME_LOCATION \ --ssl-certificates=CERTIFICATE --project=$PROJECT_ID

    Replace the following:

    • PROXY_NAME: a name for the target HTTPS proxy.
    • URL_MAP_NAME: the name of the URL map.
    • CERTIFICATE: the name of the certificate resource.
  9. Reserve a regional external address for the load balancer. Note that the network tier must be set to STANDARD. 
    gcloud compute addresses create ADDRESS_NAME \ --region=$RUNTIME_LOCATION --network-tier=STANDARD \ --project=$PROJECT_ID

    Replace ADDRESS_NAME with a name for the IP address resource.

    Run this command to view the reserved IP address: 

    gcloud compute addresses describe ADDRESS_NAME \ --format="get(address)" --region=$RUNTIME_LOCATION \ --project=$PROJECT_ID
  10. Create the forwarding rule. 
    gcloud compute forwarding-rules create FWD_RULE \ --load-balancing-scheme=EXTERNAL_MANAGED \ --network-tier=STANDARD \ --address=ADDRESS_NAME \ --target-https-proxy=PROXY_NAME \ --ports=443 --region=$RUNTIME_LOCATION \ --target-https-proxy-region=$RUNTIME_LOCATION --project=$PROJECT_ID

    Replace the following:

    • FWD_RULE: a name for the forwarding rule.
    • ADDRESS_NAME: the IP address resource that you reserved to use for the forwarding rule.
    • PROXY_NAME: the name of the target HTTPS proxy.

Apigee provisioning is complete. Go to Deploy a sample proxy.

Step 8: Deploy a sample proxy

  1. Download the sample proxy from GitHub. The target of the proxy is the httpbin.org service, which is a commonly used public request and response service.
  2. Upload the API proxy bundle to the runtime using the Apigee apis API:

    No data residency

    curl -i -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ -H "Content-Type:multipart/form-data" \ "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/apis?name=httpbin&action=import" \ -F 'file=@PATH_TO_ZIP_FILE/httpbin_rev1_2020_02_02.zip'

    Data residency

    curl -i -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ -H "Content-Type:multipart/form-data" \ "https://$CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION-apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/apis?name=httpbin&action=import" \ -F 'file=@PATH_TO_ZIP_FILE/httpbin_rev1_2020_02_02.zip'

    Where PATH_TO_ZIP_FILE is the path to the directory containing the downloaded ZIP file.

  3. Deploy the API Proxy to the environment you created previously:

    No data residency

    curl -i -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" -X POST \ "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/environments/$ENVIRONMENT_NAME/apis/httpbin/revisions/1/deployments"

    Data residency

    curl -i -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" -X POST \ "https://$CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION-apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/environments/$ENVIRONMENT_NAME/apis/httpbin/revisions/1/deployments"
  4. Confirm the deployment completed successfully with this API call:

    No data residency

    curl -i -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/environments/$ENVIRONMENT_NAME/apis/httpbin/revisions/1/deployments"

    Data residency

    curl -i -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ "https://$CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION-apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/environments/$ENVIRONMENT_NAME/apis/httpbin/revisions/1/deployments"

  5. Call the API proxy:

    Send a request to the API proxy from any network-enabled machine by executing the following command:

    curl -i -H "Host: ENV_GROUP_HOSTNAME" \ "https://ENV_GROUP_HOSTNAME/httpbin/headers"

    If needed, you can use this API to get the ENV_GROUP_HOSTNAME value:

    No data residency

    curl -i -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/envgroups"

    Data residency

    curl -i -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH" \ "https://$CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION-apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$PROJECT_ID/envgroups"

    If you get an error like this: CONNECT_CR_SRVR_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure, check to be sure the SSL certificate you created previously has been provisioned. Use this command to check the provisioning status. When the cert is provisioned, its status is ACTIVE. 

    gcloud compute ssl-certificates describe CERTIFICATE \ --global \ --format="get(name,managed.status, managed.Status)"

    Upon success, the sample API proxy returns a response similar to this: 

    { "headers": { "Accept": "*/*", "Grpc-Trace-Bin": "AAD/8WC/I4AUSrMEch0E9yj+AYck1x9afwckAgA", "Host": "httpbin.org", "Traceparent": "00-fff160bf2380144ab304721d04f728fe-8724d71f5a7f0724-00", "User-Agent": "curl/7.77.0", "X-Amzn-Trace-Id": "Root=1-61d785ef-7613aa8a7fde7a910441fab9", "X-B3-Sampled": "0", "X-B3-Spanid": "8724d71f5a7f0724", "X-B3-Traceid": "fff160bf2380144ab304721d04f728fe", "X-Cloud-Trace-Context": "fff160bf2380144ab304721d04f728fe/9738144823944087332;o=0", "X-Envoy-Attempt-Count": "1" } }
