Walkthrough: Trying out Apigee X Evaluation End to End

[miguelmendoza]

Hey All,

In this video I go (from scratch) through the experience of setting up an Apigee X evaluation organization. The video is meant to be a walkthrough of this process as of the date I recorded it (May, 2021). If you are watching in in the future, the process may be slightly different, for the better.

The video is split into chapters covering the following topics:

1. 00:00:00​ Intro Apigee X
2. 00:01:00​ Searching for Apigee X Installation Instructions
3. 00:01:54​ Apigee X Quickstart
4. 00:02:32​ Apigee X Evaluation Org Prerequisites
5. 00:04:40​ Creating a Google Cloud Project
6. 00:06:05​ Setup GCP billing account with $300 free trial credit
7. 00:08:20​ Google Cloud Project name and ID
8. 00:08:53​ Apigee X software prerequisites (gcloud & curl)
9. 00:10:08​ Install gcloud apigee alpha
10. 00:14:26​ Apigee X evaluation vs paid org instructions
11. 00:15:57​ Setup & initialize gcloud
12. 00:17:13​ Define installation environment variables
13. 00:17:42​ Instance RUNTIME_LOCATION. (region vs zone)
14. 00:21:25​ Enabling GCP APIs needed for Apigee X eval
15. 00:22:08​ Using the Apigee X provisioning wizard
16. 00:23:57​ Configuring Apigee X networking with the provisioning wizard
17. 00:28:20​ Provision Apigee X evaluation org with wizard
18. 00:31:19​ Apigee X architecture diagram
19. 00:34:10​ Apigee X evaluation org console overview
20. 00:38:51​ Test hello-world API proxy internally
21. 00:41:01​ Create internal test virtual machine
22. 00:43:24​ Calling hello-world API proxy from internal VM with curl
23. 00:48:23​ Overview for setting up external networking
24. 00:51:18​ Apigee doc instructions for enabling external network access
25. 00:54:46​ Creating external access network bridge (Managed Instance Group)
26. 00:58:28​ Configure external load balancer IP and firewall rules
27. 01:00:40​ Configure external load balancer certificate using Google Managed Certs
28. 01:02:11​ Register a domain for the external load balancer using Google Cloud Domains
29. 01:05:26​ Create DNS A record to use with external load balancer

34. 01:17:13​ Calling hello-world API proxy from external network with browser
35. 01:17:45​ Recap of the work done

The video has very little editing, so you will see any mistakes I make, and how I correct them. I would recommend watching the video at 1.25x or 1.5x speed.
