Apigee's recommendation for accessing microgateway in private cloud

Not applicable

Hello,

I am trying to do a PoC with hybrid cloud.

I have some questions about APIGEE's experience about security aspect of microgateway in hybrid mode.

In fact, my first simple PoC will be in cloud, with following setup:

-One VPC

-Public Subnet with NAT instance

-Private Subnet with the instance endpoint API and a microgateway instance

My question what is best secure way to do the bridge between APIGEE SaaS and my private API ?

In this how can I configure the edgemicro-aware proxy endpoint in edge ?

And bonus questions 🙂

  • if now I have thousand API in my private cloud, what is your recommendation for clusterization of microgateway ?
  • Can I use microgateway in my public cloud for performance matter ?

Thanks for your recommendation

Any news ?

I'm not sure I understand your plan. You shouldn't need to bridge between Apigee SaaS and your private API if you are using the microgateway. The microgateway will need to be able to reach Apigee SaaS in order to pull down configuration information, but the private API does not.

The overview page here provides some nice examples of how it can be set up: http://docs.apigee.com/microgateway/latest/edge-microgateway-overview

when you have your backend installed in any on premises datacenter i mean you dont want your apis to call from public internet(for external clients) and you want only your apis to be requested with in the internal network or within the organization in this case you can choose edgemicrogateway installing in on premises datacenter which is close to your backend thereby reducing latency. Its like mini gateway where you will have limited features unlike full deployment model of apigee cloud. And when your start your edgemicrogateway it automatically loads proxy data,products,apps,kvms etc which are required to process an api call in your edgemicrogateway. You can use docker as container to install edge microgateway and make sure to install docker in one of the closest datacenters or you could install this set up in the machine where your backend system is hosted
