Walkthrough: Set up Apigee X Pay-as-you-go using Private Service Connect

[miguelmendoza]

Hey All,

In this video I provision Apigee X (Pay-as-you-go) with the new streamlined wizard right from the Google Cloud Console. The new wizard has less steps and uses smart default values that make it a much simpler to provision Apigee X Pay-as-you-go quickly.

Also, new wizard sets up a different network architecture. In the past, the wizard used to create a Managed Instance Group (MIG) network bridge your in GCP Project. This is not the case anymore. The new wizard, instead, creates a Private Service Connect (PSC) Network Endpoint Group (NEG). This NEG serves the backend of the Global Load Balancer for external access. This reduces the complexity and the management overhead, as there are less components created in your GCP project.
