Apigee Adapter for Envoy - Quickstart toolkit

[ganadurai]

The Apigee Adapter for Envoy enables for a lightweight Apigee gateway deployment within a kubernetes cluster or in a standalone environment in your on premise or multi-cloud setup. Envoy is a popular, open source edge and service proxy designed for cloud-native applications. 

Coupling Envoy based services with Apigee environment enables the following:

• Publish services as APIs
• Make the services visible for developers to consume
• Add authorization for access to APIs
• Measure the performance of APIs

The lightweight Apigee gateway application runs next to the target application. The gateway has to synchronize(communicate) with Apigee deployment (OPDK, Apigee Saas, Apigee X or Hybrid) for the following:

• API authentication and authorization (with API keys and OAuth)
• Quota management
• API analytics

Apigee Envoy adapter can be deployed for the below three models, the steps needed to deploy are in the respective links :

1. Envoy and apigee-adapter as containers within ASM/Istio enabled cluster, configured to Apigee X/Hybr...
   
2. Envoy and apigee-adapter as native docker containers, configured to Apigee X/Hybrid
   
   
3. Envoy and apigee-adapter as native docker containers, configured to OPDK/Edge
   
   
   
   

The following toolkit will help in executing all the manual steps needed in deploying the above three models. 

Apigee Envoy Quickstart Toolkit

The toolkit automates the below tasks:

• Downloads the envoy and apigee adapter binaries 
• Creates the provisioning artifacts and sets up the needed configuration files
• Creates service accounts and keys, for Apigee Envoy service to post ax data to Apigee
• Installs the Envoy Apigee service, Envoy filter and the Sample application (httpbin) for testing
• Sets up the Apigee product, developer and developer app
• Extracts the Apigee app keys to validate the traffic thru Envoy protected and governed by Apigee
• Post testing, the toolkit has the capability to clean up the Apigee entities, Service accounts, keys, namespaces and docker containers
