Recovering your API Proxy Assets After Trial Organisation Is Deleted

2 0 220

Apigee Hybrid Trial orgs are good for 60 consecutive days. Then they are deleted. As soon as the organisation is deleted, you can create it again, reconnect it with your Kubernetes hybrid runtime clusters and you're good for the next 60 days.

And being a mature and responsible developer, of course, you never code directly in your Edge UI. You keep your proxies and other artefacts in a VCS (Version Control System) and use solid CI/CD process to deploy your proxies to your org. Thus a recreated Trial is an hour or so interruption...

Or, next best thing, you use tool like https://github.com/apigeecs/apigee-migrate-tool to take a regular scheduled snapshot of your work.

...Except for cases when you don't.

In this case, when your organisation is deleted, your runtime instance still contains proxies et al.

You can use instructions and utility published at the apigee/devrel project to recover your assets.

Just be careful not to re-create your next trial organisation before you finish taking a backup of your runtime. Otherwise, runtime, after reconnecting with the control plane, will find no proxies there and will replicate that pristine state into your hybrid cluster.
